VMAP International Conference on CAE Interoperability 2020 - Virtual

V​MAP International Conference on CAE Interoperability 2020

 

 

Interoperability is a significant topic for much of the Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) simulation and analysis sector. Improving accuracy and speed in both product and process design is a constant requirement. A critical factor in this is enabling seamless collaboration between teams, often in different organisations, addressing different simulations and physics. This, however, presents a significant barrier.

The 1st International Conference on Interoperability, organized by the VMAP project, discussed these issues and more. The conference took place online, from 19th-20th October 2020.

Focusing on the many aspects, problems and possible solutions in interoperability including software implementation, simulation process integration, data transfer, standards, ontologies, and collaboration, this was the first independent, international gathering focusing solely on interoperability.

VERY IMPORTANT
information for creating the MP4 video of your presentation

  • Only pre-recorded presentations are possible (information on recording can be found below)
  • Video must not exceed a maximum bit rate of 1,500 kbps - otherwise it will not run!
  • The maximum file size is 2 GB.
  • The video must have 30 minutes length, the presentation itself should last 20 minutes. At the end of the lecture (20 min.), please turn off the microphone and leave the last slide until 30 minutes of video are reached. 1)
  • Please send us your video via WeTransfer.com or other data transfer tools.

1) The lecture itself should last 20 minutes. For technical reasons, it is essential that your presentation video runs for a total of 30 minutes, because questions via chat window are only possible as long as the video is running.

Recordings
Recording with PowerPoint is easy. Our colleague explained how this works in a short information video (originally made for CAASE). It is worth taking a look at it: https://vimeo.com/412451357. There are also other ways to record your presentation, e.g. Camtasia, Zoom, etc.

We would also very much appreciate it if you were shown as a presenter in the presentation video (but is optional).

Presentation - Notes, content, tips

  • Agenda:
    The presentation program is to be determined.
  • Presentation slot:
    At the time of your presentation, please login into your presentation to answer questions in the live chat window. Ideally, introduce yourself in the live chat window at the beginning of the lecture, e.g. with words similar to “Hello, my name is __. I am the presenter and look forward to your questions”.
  • Live chat window - does not apply to keynotes, as questions are answered live.
    The Live chat window is active and visible during your presentation as well as for on-demand viewers later. Unfortunately, participants first need to actively open the live chat window in the lower menu (system restriction). It would therefore be advantageous to point this out right at the beginning of your presentation, e.g. "To open the live chat window for questions, please click on the following icon in the menu below":
  • Download: live-q_a-box.jpg
    The live chat window is only active when the presentation video is running. So please let the video run for 30 minutes so that questions can still be asked within 10 minutes after your 20-minute presentation. If the video only runs for 20 minutes, the system switches off and no more questions can be asked / answered.
  • Q&A window by email
    The Q&A window by e-mail is active and visible during your presentation as well as for on-demand viewers later. These questions will not be visible to others and will be sent to you directly by email. No questions can be asked during this time. This communication window has the following symbol:

  • Download: q_a-e-mail-box.jpg

  • On-demand presentations
    Please note that the system needs about 1 hour after the lecture to convert the “live” presentation into an “on-demand” presentation.After approximately 1 hour, your lecture will be available as an “on-demand” lecture for repeated viewing.The "Live Chat Window" and the Q&A window via email "will then be available again.
