Call for Presentations Open - Deadline: 20 May 2026
Machine learning and surrogate models have been part of engineering practice for decades. In particular, surrogate-based approaches coupled with numerical simulation are an industrial standard for design optimization. They enable efficient exploration of large design spaces based on integral quantities such as loads or efficiencies.
Today, a new generation of predictive models is emerging. These models go beyond integral values – they can predict high-dimensional outputs such as spatially and time-resolved quantities. While the potential impact on CAE-based workflows is significant, especially in accelerating processes and being free of traditionally limiting CAD design parameters, industry adoption is slow. Questions regarding robustness, data generation, generalization, validation, and integration into existing simulation environments remain.
If you are in industry or academia and want to share practical experiences, methodological advances, and critical reflections on the use of machine learning in CAE, get involved, make a contribution, and share your knowledge. Submit your abstract today.
We also welcome contributions on other applications of machine learning in CAE, including turbulence modelling, data-driven physical modelling, geometry and CAD-related methods, mesh generation, machine learning and data analysis for post-processing, and all other related topics.
The SPDM Conference takes place in conjunction with the Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in CAE Applications Conference. The second day of the SPDM Conference is dedicated to SPDM and AI/ML, which will also be the focus of the first day of the Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in CAE Applications Conference.
Delegates will be able to attend either one or both conferences with an overlapping session on day two to exploit the synergies between the two focus subjects.

12:00 - 13:00 Lunch
13:00 – 18:00 SPDM presentations (coffee break in between)
18:00 – 21:00 SPDM conference get-together in the exhibition
