Filled : Open PhD position: Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (filled)
Job Summary
The advent of high performance computing (cf.
the recent purchase of a 207 teraflops IBM computer by the CNRS) has
enabled a simulation based approach to many complex scientific problems
(climatology, oceanography, astrophysics, genetics). This should also
stands for engineering design in the fields of transportation and
energy where numerical simulation is seen as the main tool for
addressing current industrial challenges, in particular sustainable
development. In the automotive industry, reduction of greenhouse effect
gas emissions is actively searched for through numerical simulation.
Today however, even if computers that achieve petaflops were available,
design teams would not really be able to use them. The reasons are the
following: current simulation and design softwares do not scale well on
massively parallel computers, design teams are not organized to work
with such tools, and commercial software tokens become prohibitively
expensive on multi-processors machines.
The OMD2 (Optimisation MultiDisciplinaire Distribuée) project takes up
the challenge of modeling and designing engineering systems using
distributed computing. OMD2 associates multi-disciplinary teams (fluids
and solid mechanicians, applied mathematicians and computer scientists)
around far-reaching, difficult, industrial problems. OMD2 is a project
of "industrial research" that continues the efforts started with the
ANR/RNTL2005/OMD exploratory project.
The goal of the thesis is the up-scaling of existing design algorithms for distributed computing and their integration in a distributed, collaborative, open software platform:
- investigate the strategies of multiobjective, multdisciplinairy,
multinivel optimization involving the techniques of code coupling,
reduced order modeling, reliability based design optimization;
- implement prototypes of selected methods in the open source environment SCILAB;
- validate the methods on an industrial application proposed by RENAULT (engine or car body).
The work requires programming skills and a working knowledge of at least one computer simulation code.

How to reprogram your engine computer
ECM or engine contorl module is usually keep up to date by flash programming or regenarating your engine computer.It is being used by cars whose brands are created since 1996 and up to present date.Usually the purpose of the engine computer is to ensure that the micro processors in the areas of power train or fuel injectors are regulating properly.It can be done first you should complete the toolos you need.First you should have a computer with an internet connection,then you should also have a USB cable and a scanning device that can be connected to the port of your car.You should first check your manufacturer's site if they have steps or if your car is valid for such engine computer programming.It can be very useful in the long run because it will make your car's engine stronger and faster,like it's brand new again.I hope that they will be able to discover more technologies like this in the future.
