PragTicA Project
If you have been watching my effort for some time already, you could mention that I am not able to finish all my plans. If I have to continue with all this stuff, I have to distribute the work to more people, which means I have to get from somewhere money for their work.
The paper downloadable at the bottom of this page originated as a response to the call of FP7 published by the European Commission. Here is a part from the call, which I found quite nice for our purposes:
AAT.2008.4.1.1. Design Systems and Tools
Advanced modelling and simulation tools to include 'virtual reality' in support of design and 'virtual prototyping'; development of advanced methods and computational tools in the fields of structural analysis, computational fluid dynamics, aeroelasticity, aerothermodynamics, icing thermodynamics and multidisciplinary optimisation to exploit state-of-the-art computer technologies; knowledge-based design tools and methods to include integrated life-cycle (design, manufacturing, maintenance, re-use or disposal) product definition; concepts and methodologies for efficient multi-site product development in support of the extended enterprise; methods and tools to support reconfigurable customisation of aircraft cabin architectures and interior designs; methods and tools enabling the modular aircraft concept; advanced testing tools and methods to improve cost-efficiency and reduce testing time of laboratory, on-ground and in-flight tests; advanced concepts and procedures in support of novel approaches to certification of aeronautical products and operations.
Funding scheme: Collaborative Projects small or medium-scale focused research, Coordination and Support Actions aiming at coordinating research activities
Open in call: FP7-AERONAUTICS and AIR TRANSPORT (AAT) - 2008-RTD-1
The complete application was prepared and presented to the EC by May 7th, 2008. Because I think some parts of it are worth reading I prepared an excerpt from the Introduction part of the application. It follows the line partially mentioned in the Concepts of PragTic and of FatLim and evolves them further. It is quite possible that we will be unsuccessful in this case, but I suppose the at least the Secs. 1.1, 1.2.1 and 1.2.8 could be interesting for anybody who read up to this place and are worth of some reflection over the next directions in the technical software development. Maybe it will be you who helps me to push the project to life.

Further topics that are worth consideration but were not included
There are some proposals that have not been accepted by more than one partner, but I think that they could be useful for any further research:
- contact fatigue
- thermo-mechanical fatigue
