Know-how

  • PRINCIPIA conducts digital simulation studies of complex physical phenomena for major industrial groups as well as for Energy and Defense engineering.
  • Those studies cover fields such as structural mechanics, fluid mechanics and multiphysics coupling. They are conducted throughout the systems lifecycle: pre-design, design, manufacture/installation, operation and dismantling and are most often associated with the industrial sector’s regulatory frameworks: API, EUROCODE, RCC-M, ASME, CODETI, AISC, etc.
  • PRINCIPIA also conducts engineering research on monitoring systems, basic design studies, basin tests and training.
