AI Transforms Modelling & Simulation

⊲ Institution of Mechanical Engineers ⊳ The article describes how AI is reshaping simulation and modelling by enabling high-fidelity digital twins that mirror real systems, blending data types like LiDAR and images to produce realistic environments. It highlights how AI lets non-experts run simulations via natural language, and uses reinforcement learning to test rare failure modes (e.g. in vehicle safety). The piece also discusses potential uses in transport, infrastructure, policy, and challenges in sensitive domains such as healthcare.
