Summary
Simulation and Modelling will return in 2026, covering the latest applications of simulation technologies, AI and machine learning, digital twins, Multiphysics modelling, and much more.
Simulation and modelling are playing an increasingly important role in modern engineering. By allowing engineers to test ideas virtually before physical development, simulation helps improve product design, enhance safety, reduce development costs and accelerate innovation across industries.
Now in its 6th edition, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers’ Simulation and Modelling Conference brings together engineers, researchers, academics and industry professionals to explore how simulation is being applied to real-world engineering challenges.
Taking place on the 29-30 September, at Austin Court in Birmingham, the conference provides a forum for the technical community to share knowledge, discuss emerging challenges and exchange ideas, helping to ensure the UK remains at the forefront of simulation and modelling.
Join this dedicated engineering community this September to connect with experts working across sectors including energy, transport, infrastructure, manufacturing and healthcare, and explore how simulation is shaping the future of engineering.
