Development of User-Oriented Computational Science and Engineering Simulation Platform

Simulation is one of the most effective ways to quickly test failures in the field of engineering. With the increase of computing power, engineering reviews are being actively conducted through simulation, such as, for example, predicting the performance or characteristics of products through the trial-and-error method executing virtual experiments before actual experiments in the sphere of computational science and engineering. In Korea, the education-research integration through simulation on the net (EDISON), a computational science engineering simulation platform, has been developed to provide a web-based educational and research convergence environment that can be easily accessed and used by students and researchers anytime, anywhere. In this study, to establish a better simulation environment, we analyzed user requests through a survey conducted in universities that use EDISON. The results of the survey revealed four major fields of interest. Based on the request analysis results, the previous version of the platform was modified and supplemented, and an upgraded EDISON 3.0 was released.
