This seminar focused on the trends and the new methodologies of numerical simulation and answered the new objectives of the automotive industry.What are the new needs of the automotive industry and by what methods of numerical simulation will engineers be able to face these new elements?...more

1032. Combining Systems Engineering and Simulation - What's So Hard About That!

      This presentation was made at the NAFEMS Americas Seminar "Model-Based Engineering: What is it & How Will It Impact Engineering Simulation" held on the 1st of October 2019 in Columbus Ohio Resource Abstract “Combining the modelling and simulation perspectives of both systems engineering and engineering simulation can improve communications and coordination across the product development lifecycle.” The authors firmly believe that this conference tag line is not only true but is achievable today with the right infrastructure, (existing) building blocks, and product development methodologies. If so, then why has this desirable goal been elusive? The authors believe that many pervasive issues...more

1033. What Makes the Integration of an SDM Successful? The Journey and Experiences of an Automotive Supplier

      Abstract The successful introduction of a simulation data management system is a complex matter and is subject to a large number of influencing variables and dependencies. Due to the time horizon, some of these variables are in a perpetual state of change and determine the course of the integration. We divided the implementation into four phases. Initially, the needs and potentials of the business units were determined and, based on these, an appropriate SDM tool selection was made in the next step. In phase three, the SDM software was piloted in the working environment and is now being rolled out worldwide. The capability for integration into the existing and future IT landscape, including...more

1039. The Use of Evolutionary Algorithms

      Product and System Optimization (PSO) The Use of Evolutionary Algorithms The specific technology examined in depth was the use of Evolutionary Algorithms in the context of Product and System Optimization. Companies who offer this technology or who work with it were invited to present their view in the context of a round-table discussion in order to target the following objectives: A general illustration of Evolutionary Algorithms applied to Product and System Optimization. The acquisition of requirements and contribution for the preparation of “best practice” document. Suggestion from the company/organization which can be regarded as some form of validation that could...more

1040. Robust Design Optimization in Virtual Product Development

      Robust Design Optimization in Virtual Product Development This NAFEMS publication reviews the state of the art in the application of Robust Design Optimisation (RDO) methods for virtual product development. Further valuable insights on RDO are provided in the NAFEMS publication “ How to Optimise Under Uncertainty ” by Mariapia Marchi. The authors surveys the rapidly evolving discipline of CAE-based Robust Design Optimisation that has been made possible by the phenomenal increase in computer processing power seen over recent decades. The complexity of component design originates from a number of interacting factors. The design engineer has to find a practical resolution to...more
