2591. 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

2593. Current & Perceived Future Challenges in Engineering Simulation Education

      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

2595. Unlocking the Full Potential of Modelling and Simulation in Your Organisation

      You may be wondering, ‘Why should I be bothered about a Modelling and Simulation Strategy? I’m too busy actually doing the job! Our organisation just wants the results!’ The answer is that simulation is highly likely to be critical to your organisation’s success. It’s also highly complex and impacts the whole organisation. It consumes significant budget, resources and time throughout your product creation and delivery processes. Most importantly it impacts the performance of the products you deliver to your customers....more

2596. 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

2597. 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

2599. 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

2600. 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
