  2. NAFEMS Eastern Europe Student Award Winner: Adam Hybler

    Meet the NAFEMS Eastern Europe Student Award Winner: Adam Hybler - University of West Bohemia 5-minute read Márton Grόza- December 5th 2025 Adam Hybler is the winner of the 2024–2025 NAFEMS Eastern Europe Student Award. He talked to us about his education, his simulation work, and the inspiration behind the project. He discusses his research, his travels, and his recommendations for future students here. Tell us a bit about yourself. I’m a CAE engineer from the Czech Republic with a strong background in computer simulation. I studied Applied Mechanics at the Faculty of Applied Sciences at the University of West Bohemia, where I was given the opportunity in my second year to collaborate...more

  3. Future - Not Fantasy

    Future - Not Fantasy Christoph Gümbel is widely regarded as one of the leading minds in digital prototyping and applied simulation methods for design and functional verification in the vehicle development process. He spent over 30 years with Porsche starting off as a software engineer, progressing to the role of head of CAE before becoming director of the virtual vehicle. He's now a consultant for the virtual development process and partner at Future Matters, one of Europe’s leading future research institutes. He spoke to NAFEMS’ David Quinn about why being a futurist is vital in today’s automotive industry....more

    T​hese slides were presented at the NAFEMS DACH Conference 2024. The conference was held in Bamberg, Germany, on 10–12 June 2024....more

  5. Effectively Communicating Innovative Ideas: Why Perspective Is Important

    If you look at the back of the quarter from New Hampshire, you will see a picture of the Old Man of the Mountain. Prior to its collapse in 1997, this naturally occurring rock formation had once depicted the profile of a man’s face when viewed from a certain perspective on the ground. Signs directing you to a specific viewing area were placed along the local highways. While standing at one of the designated viewing areas you could see the profile (pictured on the right). If you were standing anywhere other than one of the designated viewing areas, the profile was lost to you and looked like any other mountain; The proper meaning requires the right perspective....more

  6. ASSESS: Understanding a Generative Design Enabled Paradigm Shift

    This Presentation, ASSESS: Understanding a Generative Design Enabled Paradigm Shift, is from 2020. 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. Since June 2022, ASSESS as been part of NAFEMS....more

  7. What Are the Chances of the Ship Snapping? Considerations When Using Probabilistic Analysis

    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

  8. What are Particle and Meshless Methods?

    There are still some problems that FE methods do not solve efficiently or accurately. In particular, FE methods are not ideally suited for solution of dynamic problems involving a large amount of deformation because an accurate solution requires regularly-shaped elements and the movement of the nodes can lead to mesh distortion and badly-shaped elements. One approach to avoiding the problems associated with mesh deformation is remeshing, where anew mesh of regularly shaped elements is created during the solution process. This approach is computationally expensive and has potential loss of accuracy as it requires the mapping of the solution from one mesh to the next which is why meshless or particle...more

  9. The Awakened Enterprise – A Vision for Machine-augmented Mindfulness

    Translating the massive amounts of analysis data generated daily by simulation engineers into smart business decisions is a challenge. Time pressures, resource constraints, and knowledge gaps often force teams to make critical decisions without making full use of this vital resource. In this webinar, GE Aerospace's Rick Arthur will show you a better way forward. You'll discover how leading organizations are combining human expertise with AI-powered systems to: Make faster, more confident decisions even when dealing with uncertain or incomplete data Reduce costly design iterations by better understanding system sensitivities upfront Bridge organizational silos that often derail complex engineering...more
