Structures are built-up from components connected by joints. For a structure with a vibration duty there are many uncertainties: - Can static joint design be used for dynamic design? - What is the dynamic stiffness of a joint? - How much damping is provided by a joint? - How do you model the dynamics of joints in simulation codes? - Can joints be designed to assist structural dynamic? - How repeatable and predictable is the behaviour of a joint? - Can joints be simplified to reduce weight and complexity? Research into these issues has received growing attention and some answers are now available. This workshop introduced the problems, the current knowledge, some approaches and some solutions....more
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
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
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
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
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
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

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
