  1. 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

  5. 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

  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. ASSESS Congress 2017 - Looking Forward

    This Presentation, ASSESS Congress 2017 - Looking Forward, is from 2017. 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

  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
