Integrated Computational Materials Engineering
(ICME) is a discipline that aims to integrate computational materials science
tools into a holistic system that can accelerate materials development,
transform the engineering design optimization process, and unify design and
manufacturing. The notion of ICME arose from the simulation-based design
paradigm that employs a hierarchical multiscale modeling methodology for
optimizing load-bearing structures. This approach includes performing
experiments and simulations at different length scales and linking this data to
determine structure-properties relationships.
ICME continues to evolve, its revolutionary vision progressively adapting to
assimilate advances in information technology, multiscale simulation
technology, and the underlying sciences of engineering (i.e., applied
mathematics, physics of materials, and different length scales).
This website was developed as a resource for the ICME community. Users and
developers are encouraged to contribute content (i.e., web data, models, codes,
and examples) pertaining to computational materials engineering by contacting
