SIA Numerical Simulation: "Model Reduction Challenge"

The SIA's Simulation Testing and Virtual Reality expert community and MathWorks invite students to participate in the "Model Reduction Challenge" during the "Simulation & AI" congress on May 21, 2026, in the Paris region.

The competition involves training a surrogate model on transient 3D simulation data to perform multi-objective optimization. The data is derived from a finite element model of a chassis, designed for simulating deformation during a crash.
