Engineering Analysis Quality, Verification and Validation & NAFEMS AGM 2007

Event Type:AGM & Seminar
Location: Noordwijk,The Netherlands
Date: December 6, 2007


This event combines the aforementioned seminar with the NAFEMS 2007 AGM, which will be held in the same venue at 15:45 on December 6th. The AGM is open to all NAFEMS members and any interested parties

To register for the seminar and AGM, as well as view further detail on the seminar contacts, please visit the ESTEC Congrex website.

The seminar brings together a number of key players in European aerospace engineering in order to get an overview of the status of engineering analysis quality, verification and validation for CAD/CAE.

The objectives are:

  • To provide an occasion for dissemination of achievements, development work and plans;
  • To identify the main bottlenecks in today's mechanical engineering analysis and simulation landscape;
  • To identify improvement targets to be met in the mid-long term - e.g. 5 years from now;
  • To discuss potential modes of cooperation or projects for research and development (in ESA, EU and other frameworks).

In order to focus the presentations and discussions, aerospace mechanical engineering will serve as the primary application domain for examples. However, it is expected that the majority of issues related to the objectives are quite generic and exist across all industrial sectors.

The following points have been identified as particularly relevant:

  • requirements and operation of quality management systems for engineering analysis and, more particularly, their translation into rules, guidelines and checks on engineering mathematical models;
  • ensuring that the analysis is fit for purpose e.g adequate building, execution and archiving of models and choice of analysis methods;
  • justifying modelling choices in a traceable and consistent way;
  • managing at organisation/team level the training in numerical methods, modelling and transfer of knowledge.
