2382. FAQs

      FAQs Are these courses instructor-led live sessions or pre-recorded sessions? NAFEMS e-learning classes provide live instructor-led sessions to allow attendees an opportunity to interact with the course instructor. Recordings of each session are also made available to all students afterwards. All NAFEMS e-Learning courses are accredited by NAFEMS and led by leading figures in the worldwide engineering analysis community. What is the method of delivery for course material? Each topic in the class is treated as a building block. The course instructor will provide interactive projects and will involve the students in the process via Q&A, email, the course discussion board and collaborative...more

2385. Future - Not Fantasy

      Future - Not Fantasy Christoph Gümbel is widely regarded as one of the leading minds in digital prototyping and applied simulation methods for design and functional verification in the vehicle development process. He spent over 30 years with Porsche starting off as a software engineer, progressing to the role of head of CAE before becoming director of the virtual vehicle. He's now a consultant for the virtual development process and partner at Future Matters, one of Europe’s leading future research institutes. He spoke to NAFEMS’ David Quinn about why being a futurist is vital in today’s automotive industry....more

2386. Multibody Dynamics Simulation - Modelling the Imperfect Perfectly

      Multibody Dynamics Simulation - Modelling the Imperfect Perfectly 5-minute read Patrick Morelle - September 14th 2023 Modeling a pair of gears does not seem too complicated a task. Coupling two angles of rotations, describing the geometry of the gears, really, nothing too complicated. It could all be described as a routine job for any and every MBD software in the world. Now, let us ask ourselves: What could be the role of a “simple” MBD model of a gearbox? Clearly, the first purpose of such a model is to reproduce the kinematics of such an assembly of gears, making sure the speed of rotation of the shafts is what it is supposed to be, which involves the size and geometry of all the...more

2387. FEM Mesh Generation Using CAD Surface Shape Recognition Technique

      This presentation was made at the 2019 NAFEMS World Congress in Quebec Canada Resource Abstract This paper describes how we generate FEM mesh from CAD models, either surface models or solid models, automatically. It is essential to use high-quality mesh for simulations since the result may vary depending on the input FEM mesh model. To assure the quality of simulation results, it is common to create FEM mesh models according to specific meshing rules. However, it usually takes enormous time and effort to modify FEM mesh model to maintain the quality of mesh following all of meshing rules if it is done manually. Generating mesh automatically using CAD surface shape recognition technique helps...more

2389. Lee Margetts discusses the impact of affordable HPC

      Lee Margetts discusses the impact of affordable HPC with Desktop Engineering Lee Margetts, chairman of the NAFEMS HPC Working Group, along with Alan Chalker from the Ohio Supercomputer Center discussed the impact of affordable HPC (High Performance Computing) with Desktop Engineering Contributor, Kenneth Wong. Alan Chalker and Lee Margetts, Image: Desktop Engineering The democratization of HPC is expected to change the way engineers work. You can tap into HPC resources available on-demand without owning or buying HPC hardware. You will hear about Alan Chalker's experience, which is one you might have to face yourself when running a simulation. Lee Margetts will tell us what the roadblocks...more
