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
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
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
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
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
This Presentation, ASSESS Congress 2016 - Align Theme, is from 2016. NAFEMS & ASSESS members can view / download when logged in. The ASSESS Initiative is a broad reaching multi-industry initiative with a primary goal to facilitate a revolution of enablement that will vastly increase the availability and utility of Engineering Simulation, leading to significantly increased business benefits across the full spectrum of industries, applications and users.

The ASSESS Initiative As of June 21st 2022, ASSESS is part of NAFEMS. ASSESS activities started in 2014, bringing together key players to guide and influence the software development and implementation strategies related to model-based analysis, simulation, and systems engineering, with the primary objective of expanding the use and business benefit of Engineering Simulation. Our new vision: “To lead every aspect of engineering simulation toward a more valuable and accessible future in the medium to long-term, leveraging the expertise and knowledge of top-level figures in industry, government, and academia.” FAQs What is ASSESS? Established in 2014, ASSESS is a broad reaching multi-industry...more
The "Usual Suspects" by Tony Abbey, FE Training I have been living in the US now for 13 years and occasionally I get a little nostalgic for the TV shows I grew up with in the UK. I found a DVD catalogue which included what in the US we call Cop Shows. The English vernacular I remember is Police Dramas. I ordered some old favourites such as “The Sweeney”, “The Professionals” and even an extraordinarily dated “Dixon of Dock Green”. As I sat through a few it struck me that there was often a common stage in the plot line. If a bank had been robbed, security van hijacked or similar knavery, the first thing our heroes did was to arrest the ‘usual suspects’. The thinking is pretty logical; if somebody’s...more
