      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

1512. 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

1513. 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

1514. New EPSRC Digital Design Network Plus – Designing faster and better with less (D2N+)

      New EPSRC Digital Design Network Plus – Designing faster and better with less (D2N+) A new EPSRC Digital Design Network Plus – Designing faster and better with less (D2N+) ( digitaldesignnetwork.org/) has recently been established. This network has been established to help discover new and better ways to use digital design tools to support the design process. The vision is to create an active digital design community that will define, set and prioritize key Engineering Design challenges, and viable solution pathways that will exploit digital design technologies, and help UK engineering transition to net zero faster. Clearly, there is a significant synergy between what D2N+ aims to do, and...more

1515. Simulation in the Automotive Industry: Creating the Next Generation Vehicle 2021

      Simulation in the Automotive Industry: Creating the Next Generation Vehicle Date : 16-18 March 2021 Format : Three, 3-4-hour Sessions Location : Online International Seminar Agenda Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 Overview The automotive engineering community is now confronting the largest technology transformation since its inception. The demand to manufacture cleaner, safer, and smarter vehicles, along with providing an overall enhanced driving and ride experience, has never been higher. As a result, engineering teams must discover, evaluate, and successfully implement leading-edge technology and methods to produce reliable, effective results. Hence, the challenges for automotive engineers are...more

      T​hese slides were presented at the NAFEMS Americas Conference 2024. The conference was held in Lousville, KY, on 9–11 July 2024....more

1517. Beyond Traditional V&V – Achieving Credibility of Modelling and Simulation

      Beyond Traditional V&V – Achieving Credibility of Modelling and Simulation C​all for Presentations Now Open! 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...more

1518. 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

1519. Transforming the CAE Result Sharing Process for Automotive Fuel Systems with Automation and 3D Digital Reports

      Abstract The competition for the design and manufacturing of the best-in-class automotive products is more intense than ever due to technological advances and increased customer expectations. As a result, companies across the automotive industry are looking for innovations to improve their product design and manufacturing cycle time, cost and quality, and CAE simulation innovations and their effective implementations have long been proven to be a key competitive advantage. CAE organizations are also facing pressure to become more competitive and efficient. CAE Management and technical experts must constantly address an ever-growing demand to deliver more analytical product design and manufacturing...more

1520. "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
