1741. Refining the Understanding of Systems Modeling and Simulation

      Systems Modeling & Simulation Community Meeting Refining the Understanding of Systems Modeling and Simulation Tuesday 11th June 2024 | Online This community session was an interactive discussion dealing with the exploration of the intersection between systems engineering and engineering simulation. These two key technology domains play comprehensive roles in the design, development, optimization, and operational support of complex systems. The NAFEMS guide - What is SMS - introduces the concept of systems modeling and simulation and its connection with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and Engineering Simulation. However, there is much unexplored regarding the relationship between the...more

1743. 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

1744. Q&A Session

      Q&A Session Questions 1. What would be the first action organisations should take when considering a strategy for Engineering Simulation? First step is identifying and gathering your Stakeholders and agreeing your Goals for Simulation. Next step is to identify your detail requirements. i.e. What is the ‘to-do’ list you need Simulation to be able to address. 2. What is the most important action organisations should take to improve their Engineering Simulation Capability? Having identified your goals and requirements the most important action is to identify your current position regarding your processes, methods, tools, models etc… Where are the gaps? 3. What are some of the common issues...more

1746. 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

1747. 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

1748. 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
