1671. They've Found it! Beagle 2 Lander Found on Mars after 12 Years

      They've Found it! Beagle 2 Lander Found on Mars after 12 Years Well time makes fools of us all. It didn't return calls, we didn't see it around - it was as if it had disappeared off the face of the planet (well, it had technically...), but the UK led Beagle 2 lander, which touched down on Mars on Christmas Day 2003 and hadn't been seen or heard form since, has been found by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO). boo! you found me! (images courtesy of the Beagle 2 project) The discovery goes some way to solving the long-standing mystery of what happened to the lander after contact was lost after it's descent to the surface of Mars. Images show the Beagle 2 lander in what appears to be...more

1672. The Impact of Business Process Modeling in the Context of SPDM Environment: A Human-in-the-loop Approach for Design Optimization and Business Decision Making

      Abstract Manufacturing companies look at reliable digital technologies to address increasing product complexity, innovate the engineering design process and reduce investment in physical prototypes. The ability to use simulation and perform design space exploration studies usually remains in the domain of a relatively small group of simulation experts too often isolated from the rest of the organization. Regardless of the adoption of Simulation Process and Data Management (SPDM) systems, there is still a siloed approach to share projects and results. Simulation models are sent by emails or placed on a shared drive with no version control, and disconnected from a common repository with other...more

1673. Simulation and Modelling - State of the Art and Industry Best Practice

      Simulation and Modelling - State of the Art and Industry Best Practice Thursday February 25th 2016 Museum of Science and Industry Manchester United Kingdom Overview SimBest is an exciting and unique project being funded by Innovate UK to gain insights into the use of simulation/modelling within industry and the current research activities of academics. The work, undertaken jointly by KTN, NAFEMS and GE/Alstom, is now nearing completion. The project has worked with experts who have interviewed senior personnel from over one hundred world-class companies and universities from across the UK. The project findings will be revealed for the first time at this meeting. Background The use of modelling...more

1674. Engineering Analysis & Simulation in the Automotive Industry

      Engineering Analysis & Simulation in the Automotive Industry Emerging Standards & Practices Date: April 28, 2016 | Troy, MI Note: Only attendees of the 2016 NAFEMS seminar on "Engineering Analysis & Simulation in the Automotive Industry" will have access to the files below. On July 28th, 2016, access will be provided to all NAFEMS members. Overview Automotive manufacturers and suppliers are constantly challenged with delivering innovative, safe, and dependable vehicles to market as efficiently as possible. As a result, engineering teams must discover, evaluate, and successfully implement leading-edge technology and methods to produce reliable, effective results. Topics presented and...more

1675. Bending of a deep curved beam 3D

      Tutorial - Bending of a deep curved beam 3D Statement of Purpose The main purpose of this example is to demonstrate the use of 2-D plane stress elements and beam elements to model a curved uniform bar of rectangular cross section. The maximum tensile stress and the maximum compressive stress in the beam will be compared with a theoretical solution. Geometry r o = 9.1mm, r i = 7.0 mm, h = 2.0 mm Analysis Type(s) Linear material, static, small displacement. Material Steel, with Young’s Modulus = 200,000 N/mm 2 , Poisson’s Ratio = 0.3. Loading A bending moment 200Nmm applied at the top end. Boundary Conditions The bottom end is fully fixed while the top end is free. Target Solution...more

1679. Hendrix, Van Halen, Newton and Einstein

      Hendrix, Van Halen, Newton and Einstein by The CAE Guy Back in the 1980s, when I was 16 or 17, I was arguing/discussing the “best” rock and roll guitarist off all time with a high school classmate of mine. While I remember it was a heated “debate” where we agreed to disagree: Long story short [1], I was advocating for Eddie Van Halen and he was advocating for Jimi Hendrix. For a little background, my classmate was a guy that seemed, at the time, to be really into rock and roll as he had the look and feel of a head banger [2,3]. I, on the other hand, was, how should I say this … a naïve computer geek and was just coming aware of the larger world around me. Sure, I had been listening to disco...more
