The Diabolo Paradigm
ArcelorMittal R&D develop numerical models since more than 30 years
Models are (very) heterogeneous in technology and structure …
Developers are geographically distributed …
Models are used and maintained by many different users over time …
Models are not easily shared nor re-used  can be redeveloped instead
Models Lifecycle is hard to manage  lost of [digital] knowledge
 huge ‘Time to Industrial Use’
Ease models sharing and reuse
Ease chaining and Multi-Domain simulation
Support Models LifeCycle
… enter a virtual circle to enhance our Digital Knowledge

The Diabolo Paradigm
A gateway between R&D and Industry worlds
… from Innovation to industrialization
… from exploratory to standards
… to support Models Lifecycle
Tools, methods (standards) and organization

The Building Physics simulator concept
The global PIDO schema has been calculated in Diabolo
 The whole optimization is an automated process
 Calculation time is huge due to thermal calculation ( HPC !)
 The use of surrogate is essential to explore wide range of the space of solution
 Very promising results have demonstrated the Proof of Concept
