  1. The Changing World of Simulation

    Simulation, in ten years, won’t be recognizable to today’s practitioners. Vendors are consolidating, leading to technical and business changes. Hardware choices increasingly include local, CPU/GPU, HPC and cloud (or not), affecting where and how simulations are run. And the way enterprises use simulation is changing, too. In this webinar we explore these topics and ask 5 important questions to help you navigate these changes. About the Presenter Monica Schnitger, President and Principal Analyst, Schnitger Corporation. Monica is an industry analyst focusing on the software tools to create the objects that surround us. She has developed industry forecasts, market models and market statistics...more

  2. Ms. Ioana Tircomnicu-Unga: NAFEMS Eastern Europe Steering Committee Member

    Ms. Ioana Tircomnicu-Unga: NAFEMS Eastern Europe Steering Committee Member Judit Oldal, NAFEMS - July 27th 2021 We are pleased to bring you a series of posts about the NAFEMS Eastern Europe Steering Committee members so you can learn more about them. First up is Ms. Ioana Tircomnicu-Unga. Tell us briefly about yourself Passionate about how digital technologies can help companies in almost every industry improve products and efficiency, I work closely with national and international companies to support them implement the right technologies, while, from an internal point of view, I assemble the sales and technical support teams. It is an amazing job and an amazing time to do it! When...more

  3. An Introduction to Dynamic FEA

    An Introduction to Dynamic Finite Element Analysis View webinar slides (PDF) (NAFEMS Members) Many problems facing designers and engineers are dynamic in nature. The response of a structure cannot be simply assessed using static assumptions. The nature of the problem may be to understand the resonant frequencies of your design, so that key driving frequencies such as equipment rotational speed, acoustic or external pressure frequencies, ground motion frequency content or vehicle passing frequency. Your design may face external driving forces from adjacent components; cams, push rods, pistons or from vehicle input sources such as a bumpy road, wave loading, air pressure or inertial forces....more

  4. Using Digital Twins to Accelerate Product Development – A Beginners Guide

    Abstract Digital Twins have predominantly been applied to predictive maintenance of high value, low downtime assets. However, realising their full benefit as part of the product development process remains unclear. The main challenge for simulation teams is not creating good models, but the establishment of a new workflow that can make use of connected product data. Indeed, creating a compelling case for a product to be connected in the first place, and provide meaningful data, can be a major hurdle. To overcome these challenges, a proof of concept is initially required to clearly demonstrate benefit to the business, and ultimately the customer. Simulation and product development teams are well...more

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. Considerations for New System Design using Additive Manufacturing as a Technology Enabler

    This presenatation was delivered at the NAFEMS UK Seminar "Design and Manufacturing of Additvely Manufactured Components" held on the 28th of September 2017. Additive Manufacturing (AM) offers many potential benefits over traditional manufacturing techniques. It enables the generation of complex geometries and lattice structures to make lighter components, can improve thermal performance through more flexible cooling design, avoids the need for expensive tooling for short production runs and may make mass customisation a reality as customers seek more personalised products. AM applications can been found in a wide range of industries, including Aerospace, Defence, Automotive, Sports and Medical....more

  8. 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

  9. Multi-Physics Dynamic Modelling of an Electric Vehicle from Road to Battery

    Abstract The need to engineer robust electric powertrains for passenger cars and other land vehicles is clear. The design rules that were developed for ICE-driven vehicles no longer apply, yet the market is moving too quickly for similar design rules to be developed through iterative development of electric powertrains. Simulation is the only plausible route forward. ePowertrains are highly integrated, yet the effect of this integration is hard to simulate. At the concept stage the boundary conditions for the design of each sub-system is often poorly defined or over-simplified, and even at the full-system validation/sign-off stage the interaction between the different parts of the system is...more

  10. Promoting HPC for the Benefit of UK Industry

    Presentation made by A. Jones at the NAFEMS UK Seminar "Improving High Performance Computing (HPC) Adoption in Engineering Simulation" that was held in Manchester, UK on the 10th of February 2016. Seminar Description In recent years, a new business cliche has emerged: "To out compute is to out compete". In essence, the use of high performance computers for engineering simulation can help speed up design turnaround times, reduce time to market and increase competitiveness. The purpose of this seminar was to help promote the adoption of high performance computing throughout the engineering supply chain, from independent consultants to SMEs and large firms....more
