Why Simulation Needs to Consider Variability
Naturally variability and randomnes affect every real-world process, but how should their effects be included in simulations? This seminar raised awareness of the principles of probabilistic & stochastic FEA. Presentations were given from a range of methods that included random effects in simulations, as well as presenting its application as an emerging technology. All of this was presented in an easy to understand manner which focussed on practical application of the technology.
Throughout the seminar, presentations and case studies were shown demonstrating the value and worth in the technology and why every organisation should be utilising it. The seminar seeked to reduce any reservations about the technology and established how it can be universally applied to every problem.

First in a Series of Similar Events ...
We are pleased to confirm that this is the first in a series of events on a similar subject and follow on events will include:-
Engineering Optimisation for Industrial Applications Seminar
To be held on 21st March 2012 at a venue to be confirmed in The Midlands the NAFEMS seminar on Engineering Optimisation for Industrial Applications aims to provide an overview of optimisation methods and techniques currently available, ranging from the classical approaches such as gradient and simplex methods through to more sophisticated, methods such genetic algorithms and response surface modelling.
Future Workshop
A workshop will follow in early July 2012, with the aim of describing and demonstrating the practical implementation of probabilistic & stochastic methods. Vendors will be available to deliver a ‘hands on’ demonstration of the simplicity of a stochastics simulation and its results.
