1471. Optimization, Machine Learning, & Digital Thread in Structures: Perspective from Boeing

      NAFEMS Americas hosted its biennial regional conference, formerly known as CAASE, on June 21-23, 2022, face-to-face, at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, Indiana! The NAFEMS Americas Regional Conference 2022 (NRC22 Americas) brought together the leading visionaries, developers, and practitioners of CAE-related technologies in an open forum, unlike any other, sharing experiences, discussing relevant trends, discovering common themes, and exploring future issues, including: What is the future for engineering analysis and simulation? Where will it lead us in the next decade? How can designers and engineers realize its full potential? What are the business, technological,...more

1472. 10 Ways To Increase Your Professional Value in The Engineering Industry

      So you got laid off. As did thousands of other highly qualified scientists and engineers. What can you do to stand out of the crowd while looking for your next job? What will you do in case your one-month layoff stretches into six months or a year? How can you make yourself more qualified and more appealing to future employers while being unemployed? During this talk, Dr. Masha Petrova gave you 10 specific action items that you can do while searching for your next job, that will dramatically improve your resume, greatly increase your interviewing skills, provide many more opportunities for employment and set you apart from the rest of the job seekers in your field. Come prepared to take your...more

1473. Dynamics Testing and Analysis Workshop

      Dynamics Testing & Analysis Workshop - It Vibrates: What Now? Most structures in an operating environment will be subject to dynamic loads. Often this leads to unwanted vibration. Of course, in a perfect world engineers would have anticipated such issues and designed the product accordingly. In the real world, we often have to resolve vibration issues retrospectively. Thus, the purpose of this workshop was to show a range of analysis and testing techniques which can achieve in-situ vibration reduction. The workshop was illustrated with examples from the Aerospace, Civil, Process and Automotive industries and was of interest to all engineers who encounter vibration response in pre-production...more

1475. What is Sensitivity Analysis?

      This article is from a series of NAFEMS “What is”Guidance leaflets, which are available as free downloads at nafems.org. Other topics in the series include “What is Verification & Validation”, “What is Implicit and Explicit Finite Element Simulation”, “What is SQEP - Suitably Qualified and Experienced Personnel” and “What is Simulation Data Management”....more

1476. Beyond Traditional V&V – Achieving Credibility of Modelling and Simulation

      Beyond Traditional V&V – Achieving Credibility of Modelling and Simulation T​hursday, 13th November 2025 Do you want to understand how to undertake Verification and Validation (V&V) to meet today’s needs and tomorrow’s challenges? As we simulate more complex problems across more application domains then we need to develop the way in which we establish the credibility of those simulations for own organisation, our partners and external stakeholders. Join us at our upcoming event where industry leaders will explore what the latest trends in simulation such as generative design, democratization and a host of others will mean for V&V. Don't miss out on this opportunity to explore new strategies,...more

1477. What's in a Cookie? Simulation in the Food & Drink Industry

      What’s in a Cookie? 6-minute read Sinothile Baloyi - June 30th 2023 Your favourite packaged cookie. What is it, actually? Let’s just focus on the basic ingredients of the kind of cookie you might bake yourself. So, probably wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, maybe chocolate, butter, and flavourings. Now let’s think about the physical properties of each ingredient, the things that your cookie is before it’s a cookie: Flour - powder Sugar- granular Chocolate - colloid composed of cocoa, fat and sometimes sugar Butter – water in oil emulsion Baking powder – compound powder What about your favourite sauce, ketchup, Brown sauce (Yes, rest of the world outside the UK, that’s what it’s...more

1478. "Diffusion of Innovation” Applied to Modeling & Simulation – What can we Learn from Social Science Research and Marketing?

      This presentation was made at the 2019 NAFEMS World Congress in Quebec Canada Resource Abstract In many industries and companies, Modeling and Simulation has been used successfully for important decisions and even some work process changes. However, in many places the use is quite “shallow” and limited to a small number of highly capable and motivated individuals. It has not become “mainstream” outside of few industries such as Automotive, Aerospace and a few others. This is classic case of an innovation being embraced by “early adopters”, but not by the so-called “early majority” and “late majority” (the vast majority of our employees). In the presentation I will show the analogy to other...more

1479. Aircraft Survivability Modeling and Simulation Framework (AirSurF)

      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 The original aircraft survivability analysis, hit calculations, has been around since the beginning of aircraft survivability. Described in the renowned Aircraft Survivability Bible, The Fundamentals of Aircraft Combat Survivability Analysis and Design by Robert E. Ball, essentially, slow, low flying, and easy to detect aircraft will have poor survivability. Also, Ball describes as hits on the aircraft increases, the aircraft survivability greatly decreases as seen in Figure 1. Two components...more
