2481. Hardware Considerations for Efficient Finite Element Analysis

      Hardware Considerations for Efficient Finite Element Analysis Overview In this webinar, we discussed what hardware configurations to pursue to get the most efficient solutions from your FEA tools. We examined various hardware components such as processors, RAM, GPUs, and hard drives and how they interact with your FEA databases and solvers. We also delved into various solution algorithms and how they are affected by your hardware setup. Finally, we explored different cluster solution options for even more capacity and speed beyond your workstation.

2482. How to Justify Increasing the use of Engineering Simulation in Your Company during and after COVID-19

      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

2483. Are We Ready for Foundational Models in Engineering?

      Are we Ready for Foundational Models? Astrid Walle Data Science and Simulation Expert Siemens Energy The presentation examined the readiness of the CAE universe for the adoption of foundational models, exploring what these models truly mean for engineering design and simulation. Beginning by outlining a vision for AI in engineering, questioning whether we can provide a base for foundational models given our current state in data handling and whether we can make the most of their transformative potential. Discussion progressed to the requirements for implementing these models, such as simulation data management and computational capabilities, and an assessment of the status quo in research...more

2484. 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

2485. 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
