VLAIO Industrial R&D projects Characteristics: Industry-driven but can include academic partners (Industrial partners need to fund academic partners!) Example1 : Virtual Satellite Vibration Test ADVENT project: Environment testing methodologies for satellites Partners: SISW + VUB Example 2: Link between Mechanical & Software INES project: Innovation in the Development Avionic Systems Partners: SISW + University of Antwerp Also in collaboration with Boeing R&T in Spain with EUREKA label ADVENT Virtual Shaker Page 10
VLAIO Strategic Basic Research projects Characteristics: Academic-driven but can include industrial partners in particular to provide use cases Example: Model-Based Systems Engineering for Mechatronics project Partners: KUL / UA / Karel de Grote Hogeschool / SISW / Verhaert Page 11
VLAIO Baekeland projects Characteristics: Collaboration between 1 company and 1 university and the selected researcher needs to defend his research proposal before a panel of experts Example: Baekeland Tuur Benoit: Methodology development for use of high-fidelity physical models in state estimation of mechatronic systems in aeronautics. Partners: SISW + KUL (PMA) Prediction Correction Page 12 Measurements
VLAIO ICON Projects Characteristics: Projects that fit in with the roadmaps as defined by Strategisch Onderzoek Centers (SOC) (e.g: Flanders Make, IMEC, VITO, ) of Strategisch Speerpuntclusters (e.g. SIM). Projects always consists of basic research part (knowledge institutes) and applied R&D part with at least 3 industrial partners Example: CONCEVAL project: Project that fits in the RP-5 roadmap about Lightweight of FM. Aim: Objective evaluation of multiple attributes for innovative lightweight solutions and fully explore the available design space through automatic concept variants generation. Partners: FM, KUL, Bosal, Lambrechts, Noesis, SISW & Tenneco Page 13 Design methodology for Landing Gear concept design
VLAIO ICON Projects Example: M3-Strength project: Project that fits in the M3 roadmap about Simulation of SIM. Aim: Multi-scale / multi-level modeling of composites by linking meso-level to macro-level including analysis of fatigue and as-manufactured properties,. Partners: SISW, SABCA, Lazer Sport, DERES, 3D Weaving, UGent, KULeuven, VUB Page 14
Student Projects Characteristics: Collaboration with universities by hosting trainees or provide topics for student projects (e.g. master thesis). Example 1: KUL master thesis of Joachim Goovaerts about development of a simulation methodology for the analysis of a gust load alleviation controller Example 2: VIVES Internship of 6 weeks of Maxim Schelfhout about the modelling and analyses of the electric and thermal management of the Litus UAV Page 15
Future Siemens Industry Software nv. is interested in research collaboration: Modelling of controls and mechatronic systems Electrification of aircraft Systems and Propulsion Development methodologies for embedded software Modelling of structures, mechanism, gears & aero elasticity Modelling and measuring methods for acoustics Modelling of energy and multi-physics systems Modelling of materials and manufacturing processes Model-Based System Engineering methodologies Page 16
