We had the opportunity to talk to Vikram Deshpande, professor of materials engineering at the University of Cambridge, at the 2022 EURONORTH Regional User Meeting. We discussed his keynote presentation that focused on understanding how the electrochemistry of lithium-ion (Li-ion) cells drives mechanical failure in solid-state Li-ion batteries.
Vikram is using simulation in his research to solve multi-physics problems and optimize battery performance.

“There are a lot of multi-physics software available now, but if I want to solve a large problem, SIMULIA is really the top software because its solvers are so efficient,” Deshpande said.
Another feature that sets SIMULIA apart is not presenting users with a “black box” of inaccessible code. This is crucial for Deshpande as an academic engineer.
“In most commercial software, the manual – the theory behind the software – doesn’t exist for all practical purposes and that makes it difficult for me to use,” Deshpande said. “What really attracts people like me to SIMULIA is that it gives us inroads to be able to write plugins, to write Python scripts to couple with our own codes and to do co-simulations,” he said. “In a multi-physics domain, this is an important capability for us. The fact that Dassault Systèmes gives us hooks to be able to do something which goes beyond the current capability of the software is really how we use the software. As a researcher who is developing things which hopefully the industry will use in the future, that is the capability that I really need.”
