Modelling & Simulation

A digital twin is a digital representation of a physical system that reflects how a system behaves in real time. It pulls real-world data to provide a view of how its physical counterpart is behaving.

A digital twin draws on real-time data to represent how a system is currently behaving at a single point in time. A simulation can use this data, but then represents a future state, where something, e.g., a variable or parameter, has changed and what the expected outcome is.

Model based systems engineering is an approach that uses mathematical models to enable us to build virtual representations of new systems and processes, reducing the need for costly physical prototypes. MBSE covers all stages of the product lifecycle from initial concepts through design, manufacture and into operation and maintenance. It acts as a single source of truth in complex engineering projects.

Using an external modelling and simulation partner, such as CFMS, is helpful when you hit the limits of your current tools or skillset and you need to go beyond them.

We specialise in complex mathematical modelling supported by our in-house developed tools and team for highly complex systems. Supported by a range of automation and our Bristol-based high performance compute data centre, we are an extension of your team that enables you to do more, go faster and be bold, without the unnecessary restriction of internal IT or time to get up to speed.
