How to Build and Manage Simulation Engineer Competency

NAFEMS UK Conference

Workshop: How to Build and Manage Simulation Engineer Competency


Nawal Prinja, Technology Director (Nuclear) from WOOD Plc.


This lecture will focus on “maintenance and further development of expertise and skills” required by many industry regulators. Methodology to build and manage this competency in an organisation will be introduced along with the new Professional Simulation Engineer (PSE) qualification. PSE certification covers 26 technical areas and has more than 1400 competency statements for simulation engineers at every stage of their career. It is specific to analysis & simulation using FEA and CFD but is not specific to any particular software package.

The talk will present a sample of competency statements from selected technical areas covering:

  • Core FEA,
  • Fundamentals Of Computational Fluid Dynamics,
  • Flaw Assessment And Fracture Mechanics,
  • Fatigue And Simulation Management
