  3. Fundamentals of Multibody Dynamics Simulation

    Fundamentals of Multibody Dynamics Simulation This live online course explains what you need to know to perform Multibody Simulation Analysis of systems and mechanisms. By attending, you will learn about the theoretical, numerical, and methodological background which will allow you to build your first Multibody Dynamic (MBD) models, and then progress to more complex ones. Examples are discussed in detail allowing you to understand not only model construction but how and why a given model has been built that way. The examples used will help illustrate the use of multiple commercial MBD software packages as concrete examples of applications of existing commercial technology....more

  4. Model Calibration and Model Validation - What's the Difference?

    Model Calibration and Model Validation - What's the Difference? A Discussion with the NAFEMS SGMWG 12-minute read NAFEMS SGMWG - March 22nd 2023 As part of an ongoing series, the NAFEMS Simulation Governance & Management Working Group present a discussion about the difference between model calibration and model validation. As well as reading the conversation here, you can watch the video on YouTube. The discussion was hosted by Gregory Westwater (GW, Emerson Automation Solutions) and William Oberkampf (WO, consultant), both members of the NAFEMS S imulation Governance & Management Working Group GW: Model calibration and model validation, how do you define each? And what's the distinction...more

  5. Greenwashing

    Greenwashing Let's talk about sustainability. At its core, it is about doing what we can to slow the depletion of natural resources. How we do this varies by use case. We could redesign a product to use less steel or switch to renewable resources like wood. We can work on the problem via the supply chain, sourcing material closer to home so it requires less fuel to reach us. We could embrace circularity, designing a product that is intended to be recycled so its components can be reused. Beyond product design, we might redefine the production process to use less electricity or water. There are many possible actions, each doing its part to address what can sometimes seem like an overwhelming...more

  6. 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

  9. 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
