1581. 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

1582. 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

1584. "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

1585. 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 A​ccess the Presentations 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 our own organisation, our partners and external stakeholders. Join us at this NAFEMS seminar, 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

1586. 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

1587. 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

1589. 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

1590. How Multi-Fidelity Analytical Modeling Can Reduce Risk at All Levels of System Development

      Abstract Analytical modeling and simulation of systems are traditionally done at the component or module levels and usually involve complex 3-D simulations. These types of simulations take a long time to solve but give detailed design direction. In addition, these types of simulations are typically conducted after the project gets into the development life cycle phase. Within a Systems Engineering strategy, modeling and simulation of systems are starting to be done at the product level and usually involve simplified 0-D or 1-D models. These types of simulations run very fast but only give general design direction. In addition, these types of simulations are typically needed during the planning...more
