  1. The Evolving World of Simulation- When, How, How Much, and If

    The Evolving World of Simulation- When, How, How Much, and If 4-minute read Sinothile Baloyi - July 31st 2024 Many great innovations emerge from wars and other existential threats, why exactly that is is complicated, but perhaps at a simplified level, it’s something to do with the fact that when it comes to eliminating real threat to life, there is no cost too great. Computer simulation is one such innovation that found in war an accelerant. During the Second World War and following a course in wartime electronics, physicist John Mauchly wrote a memo proposing an all-electronic calculating machine, and that’s how ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer), the first general-purpose...more

  4. Validation of Numerical Analysis in Geotechnical Engineering

    Validation of Numerical Analysis in Geotechnical Engineering A seminar for senior managers, technical reviewers and project managers in partnership with NAFEMS, the International Association of the Engineering Modelling, Analysis and Simulation Community. Overview Numerical analysis using finite element and finite difference methods has become a mainstream design tool within geotechnics in the last decade or so. This is due to the development of sophisticated yet accessible 2D and 3D computer programs that can realistically model the ground and adjacent structures. With increasing reliance placed on this type of complex modelling effective training in the use of this technology and effective...more

  7. Simulation of ADAS Functions in Cutoff Situations

    Abstract The laboratory of the Bay Zoltán Nonprofit Ltd. located at the ZalaZONE proving gound has the goal to test and develop Automated Driving and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems applications applying a Driver-in-the-Loop Simulator. In both topics we perform simulations and support the preparations of physical tests, further on we have our research and development topics. In our recent study we focus on to identify bottlenecks of the trending collision avoidance technology, which is one of the fastest growing ADAS feature field. Nowadays we have many different ADAS solutions which are working well on their own. Our main task now is to develop an intelligent autonomous driving algorythm...more

  8. Why Attend

    NRC22 Americas "Why I Attended" The following statements were made by individuals who attended NRC Americas/CAASE in recent years. The only modifications made were to remove any identifying information (e.g., company or product names). This information was captured in the conference feedback form, and was not a required field, so the response to attendee ratio is not 1:1. Why Did I Attend? Organization Type 'Presentation of our work and networking.' Academia / Research 'Networking and Making Global Presence for Company' Academia / Research 'To become more involved in the CAE community.' End-User 'The main objective was to find better ways to implement CAE.' End-User ...more

  9. Incorporating Microstructure Prediction into Weld Modelling: The Challenges of Low Alloy Ferritic Steel Welds

    This presentation was made at the NAFEMS UK Seminar "Welding Simlation - How Much Validation is Enough?" Resource Abstract Weld modelling – the prediction of weld residual stresses using finite element techniques – has been developed and applied in the UK civil nuclear industry over the last two decades. Its development and use were driven by the extensive residual-stress-driven creep cracking problems encountered in the UK Advanced Gas Cooled reactor fleet. This effort resulted in the R6 Weld Modelling Guidelines, originally issued in 2009, which presented a state of the art, formalised approach to using finite element techniques to predict residual stresses in austenitic steel welds, with...more

  10. What to do About Global Warming: Modeling the Problem and Solutions

    Abstract Using 0-D global physics models of global temperature dependence on carbon-dioxide emissions and atmospheric lifetime we demonstrate that eliminating carbon-dioxide emissions is insufficient to prevent exceeding the global warming ?tipping point? of 2 degrees Celsius. We examine other means to limit global warming including carbon dioxide sequestration and increasing earth?s albedo. The latter is shown to be potentially much more cost-effective in managing global warming, and its positive effects can be observed immediately....more
