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
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
Effects of Forming: Using Manufacturing Process Simulation Results in CAE Performance Simulation Manufacturing Process Simulation Community Event Monday 10th May 2021 08:00 PDT (Los Angeles), 11:00 EDT (New York) 16:00 BST (London), 17:00 CEST (Berlin) Register for the event here Event Description This presentation will discuss: What is Manufacturing Process Simulation? What are the potential benefits in its application – and what are the challenges? What data could we take from manufacturing process simulation into a CAE simulation of the product performance? A few examples… Final remarks About this event This event is being hosted by the NAFEMS Manufacturing Process Simulation Working...more

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

Academics Symposium: Discussion Session Current & Perceived Future Challenges in Engineering Simulation Education Jim Wood, JW Analysis We are keen to receive input from both industrialists and academics in this discussion session. Even if you can’t manage along, we would be happy to accept your input before or after the event. The call presentations contains a wealth or relevant topics. Meanwhile here are a few stimulating thoughts and questions … Do industrialists see any perceived shortcomings in new graduates in this area? Do industrialists feel that they have sufficient opportunity to influence University Programme/Course Committees? Has the design pendulum swung too far in general...more
2. Hardware Requirements General Considerations In this chapter, we’ll discuss what hardware will provide you with the best finite element software performance. We will start off by providing you with an overview of the components and systems that we will be covering in more depth throughout the chapter. We will also start off with some basic guidelines to help you optimize your workstation configurations. (Please consider that this course has been created in 2020, some hardware specific considerations may not be relevant anymore.) Processing This section will provide some guidance as to which CPUs are most ideal for FEA as well as what options to consider. We will also go into some...more
