Why Do Design Optimisation? ‘Optimisation’ is about selecting the best option from a range of possible choices. It is natural to consider this when designing a new product. As the old saying goes, ‘A job worth doing is worth doing well’. Why not produce a design that is the best in its class, if you have the means to do so? It may not cost any more in time and money to design and produce; and it may cost less. The customers for your product will be more please with it. Everyone will be happier, except your competitors. But how to make the selection, that is the question. Maybe in practise, you would settle for something that is some way short...more
This presentation was made at the NAFEMS Eastern European Seminar held in Budapest Hundary on November the 27th 2017. This seminar focused on the trends and the new methodologies of numerical simulation and answered the new objectives of the automotive industry.What are the new needs of the automotive industry and by what methods of numerical simulation will engineers be able to face these new elements?...more
This isn’t what I was going to write for this issue. In fact, I completed something else; it was about design decisions and how their results appear as if by magic in CAE feature trees. But it seemed to me that I was getting too negative in these pieces. You’ll hardly be surprised to hear that I think we have a few things to be negative about where we’ve got to as an industry. But we’ve also got a whole lot more to be pleased about, and maybe it’s better to look at that stuff more than occasionally. So, let’s look back at a reason we’ve got to be pleased with ourselves as an industry, and what our long dark nights of the soul have actually achieved. This article appeared in the January 2026...more
What is Multiphysics? In this panel session from the NAFEMS 2021 World congress members of the multiphysics working group will give a general guideline for a definition of the term multiphysics simulations. In addition the team will discuss topics including: Why do Multiphysics? Application Cases Challenges The Future...more
New Developments in Physics Informed Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence Over the past three years the field of Physics Informed Machine Learning (PIML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) has experienced a dramatic renaissance. New methods for integrating physics based principles into ML are being developed redefining what problems can be solved with PIML & AI. PIML & AI is revolutionizing applications such as predictive maintenance, electrification & autonomy, and even the discovery of new drugs to treat disease. This paper describes some of the emerging methods and trends shaping this exciting new field....more
NAFEMS is talking shop with Tony Abbey on a range of topics relevant to, and suggested by, the engineering analysis community. Episode 1 - St Venant's Principle This principle is often quoted in FEA. It is a very generalized statement, but what does it mean and how can we use it in practice? Tony explores the background to the principle and discusses how it can be used in practical guidelines. Several examples are be shown in the presentation, then the session opened up for questions....more
NAFEMS Americas and Digital Engineering (DE) teamed up (once again) to present CAASE, the (now Virtual) Conference on Advancing Analysis & Simulation in Engineering, on June 16-18, 2020! CAASE20 brought together the leading visionaries, developers, and practitioners of CAE-related technologies in an open forum, unlike any other, to share experiences, discuss relevant trends, discover common themes, and explore future issues, including: -What is the future for engineering analysis and simulation? -Where will it lead us in the next decade? -How can designers and engineers realize its full potential? What are the business, technological, and human enablers that will take past successful developments...more

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
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
