PCBend is an open source process for bending electronic circuits developed by two young researchers, one from the joint Inria-Loria MFX team, the other from the Austrian Institute of Science and Technology.
The problem with electronic circuits is that it's difficult to give them shapes that can be deployed in space. They are flat planes, like sheets of paper. If sheets of paper can be folded, electronic circuits are much less so. What the researchers have developed is software to create 3D shapes from a single plane, foldable according to precise joints that do not contain rigid electronic components.
The result is very interesting, especially with LED components.

Data modeled in graphs (which can be multi-dimensional) allow the detection of relationships that are practically invisible in other forms and, above all, with much less computational and energy resources.
Precision numerical simulation
In the world of simulation, things quickly become complex as soon as you move away from simple geometries and isolated movements. Interactions between billions of fluid-like elements become almost incalculable, especially when the properties of the medium change with orientation.
