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
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

The ASSESS Initiative is a broad reaching multi-industry initiative with a primary goal to facilitate a revolution of enablement that will vastly increase the availability and utility of Engineering Simulation, leading to significantly increased business benefits across the full spectrum of industries, applications and users. Since June 2022, ASSESS as been part of NAFEMS....more
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
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
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
NAFEMS Webinar Series Practical Introduction to CFD Wednesday, 7 September 2011 Overview CFD is a computer-based simulation of predicting what will happen when fluids (gases & liquids) flow. CFD complements experimental and analytical approaches by providing an alternative cost-effective mean of simulating real-life flow problems. CFD has now become a leading research, educational, and design tool. It is being used to better understand physical events and processes and perform numerical experiments. Most importantly, it has now become a design tool by providing capabilities to facilitate design optimisation, reduce design bottlenecks and improve engineering performance, enhance communications,...more
