Virtual Engineering Centre (VEC) The Virtual Engineering Centre supports and complements our extensive experimental work in materials and manufacturing at BCAST. It is the rapidly expanding hub of our various modelling activities, ranging from atomistic simulation of materials structures to modelling of materials processes and component performance. These modelling activities form a core feature of our fundamental and applied research in manufacturing with light metals for industrial applications.
