The foundations for the research were laid in the first year. A workflow for optimizing the sheet metal forming software OpenForm using machine learning was designed and is currently being actively evaluated and adapted. OpenForm is a specific software for sheet metal forming that is to be optimized using machine learning. Initial performance and correctness analyses have also been carried out and improvements made.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #00549f;\">Future Steps and Focus on Energy Efficiency<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The coming project year will focus on energy efficiency. The separate analysis and possible integration of energy as a central resource in the workflow are on the project agenda. The aim is to automate data collection to train the model with a larger amount of data. There are also plans to integrate cloud computing into the workflow to provide an attractive source of access to computing time for companies.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #00549f;\">Stay Abroad in Japan<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>At the same time, there was a stay abroad in Japan, during which Semih Burak worked on his own doctoral research in the HPC group at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.riken.jp\/en\/\">RIKEN<\/a> in Kobe and gained insights into compiler infrastructures and static analyses. This stay also allowed him to network with international colleagues and explore Japanese culture.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18410\" style=\"width: 237px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18410\" class=\"wp-image-18410\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/files\/2024\/01\/Blog-Layout-1-2-300x200.png\" alt=\"Japan\" width=\"227\" height=\"151\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/files\/2024\/01\/Blog-Layout-1-2-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/files\/2024\/01\/Blog-Layout-1-2-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/files\/2024\/01\/Blog-Layout-1-2-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/files\/2024\/01\/Blog-Layout-1-2-1536x1024.png 1536w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/files\/2024\/01\/Blog-Layout-1-2-2048x1365.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 227px) 100vw, 227px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-18410\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Own illustration<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_18411\" style=\"width: 232px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18411\" class=\"wp-image-18411\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/files\/2024\/01\/Blog-Layout-2-1-300x200.png\" alt=\"Japan\" width=\"222\" height=\"148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/files\/2024\/01\/Blog-Layout-2-1-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/files\/2024\/01\/Blog-Layout-2-1-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/files\/2024\/01\/Blog-Layout-2-1-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/files\/2024\/01\/Blog-Layout-2-1-1536x1024.png 1536w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/files\/2024\/01\/Blog-Layout-2-1-2048x1365.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 222px) 100vw, 222px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-18411\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Own illustration<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>ENSIMA brings together partners from academia and industry, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rwth-aachen.de\/cms\/~a\/root\/?lidx=1\">RWTH Aachen University<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tu-darmstadt.de\/index.en.jsp\">TU Darmstadt<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fz-juelich.de\/en\">Forschungszentrum J\u00fclich<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gns-mbh.com\/\">Gesellschaft f\u00fcr numerische Simulation mbH<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/gns-systems.de\/en\/\">GNS Systems GmbH<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simcon.com\/\">SIMCON kunststofftechnische Software GmbH<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thws.de\/en\/\">Technische Hoch-schule W\u00fcrzburg-Schweinfurt<\/a>.
