2511. Hardware Requirements

      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

2512. 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

2515. Democratizing CAE

      Democratizing CAE Webinar Presentation (PDF) Webinar Recording (WebEx) Q&A Session Responses Note: The presentation and recording files are only available to NAFEMS members. To access the password for this webinar, login with your member credentials, and then click here . What if in order to drive a car you were required to be an expert in the dynamics, principles, and physics involved in exactly how a collection of parts interact to propel you down the road? The overwhelming majority of us would be walking. While this may appear to be an exaggerated example, one could argue that the product simulation world has operated in this way for nearly fifty years. Today, the ability to apply...more

2516. Engineering Analysis & Simulation in the Oil & Gas Industry

      Engineering Analysis & Simulation in the Oil & Gas Industry Emerging Standards & Practices Date: April 7th, 2016 | Houston, TX Note: Only attendees of the 2016 NAFEMS seminar on "Engineering Analysis & Simulation in the O&G Industry" will have access to the files below. On July 7th, 2016, access will be provided to all NAFEMS members. Overview The oil & gas industry faces a myriad of challenges, including the operation of production equipment in the most extreme environments with no room for error, as well as increasing pressure on refineries to minimize costs, safety risks, downtime, and emissions. Accurately representing the reality of various production and refinement analyses requires...more

2518. ITEA VMAP - A new Interface Standard for Integrated Virtual Material Modelling in Manufacturing Industry

      first beta version of the VMAP Standard has now been released, and is available at vmap.eu.com . VMAP is an open and free standard for the transfer of information between simulations within a process chain, no matter what software is used to carry these out. This provides engineers with a fast solution to pass information from one calculation to another without needing to create one-off interfaces. VMAP provides a detailed and well-defined open-source standard, accompanied by a software library of input/output tools to read/write the VMAP data files and enable fast development of transfer operations between different software packages. Many software companies and suppliers have included, or are...more
