  1. 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

  2. How do we manage ES Digital Twins across a fleet of physical assets?

    This presentation has been held at the NAFEMS ASSESS Summit 2024 , on the 5th and 6th of March, 2024....more

  3. What the Codes Say

    What the Codes Say ... with respect to fatigue. The purpose of this section is not to try and conclude that any one code is better than another - rather, the goal is to provide diverse insight and understanding into DBA fatigue practice. This section discusses the following DBA standards and while the reader may decide to focus on a particular code of interest, it is recommended that the opportunity is taken to develop a breadth of understanding (to some extent) of all: PD5500 ASME VIII Div2 ASME III (brief mention) EN13445 Some other fatigue relevant standards and guidance, is also highlighted: BS 7608 BS 7910 In the Codes of Practice / DBA in Action section of the course, attention is...more

  4. The Evolving World of Simulation

    The Evolving World of Simulation Webinar Presentation (PDF) I Webinar Recording (WebEx) Note: The presentation and recording are only available to NAFEMS members. Overview Simulation is changing how we design and bring products to market, creating competitive advantages for companies that take advantage of these advances. We’ll talk about what happened in 2022 and what we can expect for 2023 — and ask essential questions to help you navigate these changes. This webinar was available for free to the engineering analysis community, as part of NAFEMS' efforts to bring the community together online. About our speaker Monica Schnitger - President and Principal Analyst, Schnitger Corporation...more

  5. Simulation Data Management

    Simulation Data Management Making the Data Work A hard-drive full of spreadsheets is the new paperwork filled filing-cabinet. Collating, managing, storing and reusing simulation data is key to successfully seeing the benefits of analysis and simulation throughout your organization. Knowing what you need, how to implement it, and how to get users to engage with it is vital for any system to succeed, and the benefits are substantial. NAFEMS is leading the way in examining best practice in simulation data management, and in providing users with the knowledge to choose, implement and review their tools and processes. Remember back in the day when a few gigs of disk space was a serious cost that...more

  6. 2020 Conference on Advancing Analysis & Simulation in Engineering (CAASE20)

    2020 Conference on Advancing Analysis & Simulation in Engineering (CAASE20) Missed the Live Virtual Conference? Not to worry. All of the conference presentations, with the exception of training courses, are still available on the virtual conference platform until mid-July 2020. During this time, we will be migrating all of the content over to the NAFEMS Resource Center to ensure NAFEMS members will have access to all of the excellent contributions delivered during this event. 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...more

  7. Start Your Engines! Talking Hypercar Simulation

    Start Your Engines! Talking Hypercar Simulation with Ivan Krajinović of Rimac Automobili 5-minute read David Quinn - September 9th 2021 Dr. Ivan Krajinović is Simulations Manager at Rimac, the electric hypercar manufacturer based in Croatia. He leads the Simulation department, which is responsible for structural, electrical and thermal simulations of different components of the electric powertrain, working on major projects, like the development of the Nevera (C_TWO) electric hypercar. We discussed his upcoming keynote at the CAE in the Automotive Industry symposium, part of the NAFEMS World Congress 2021 . Ivan gave us an insight into how he got started as a simulation engineer, what...more

  8. Strategies for Deploying Expert and Casual CAE Tools

    Strategies for Deploying Expert and Casual CAE Tools NAFEMS Webinar Series View webinar slides (PDF) (NAFEMS Members) Abstract CAD vendors often maintain that a CAD-based approach driven by CAD designers will expand the use of CAE throughout the engineering organization. Meanwhile, experienced CAE analysts understand that casual CAE users without rigorous engineering knowledge are unlikely to be able to realize meaningful results. We contend that engineering organizations should deploy CAE to optimize their engineering process, and that CAE should be used as much as practicable. However, success is not guaranteed by mere software acquisition. Engineering organizations must foster an environment...more

  9. One Step Closer to Reality with Multi-Body Dynamic Simulation

    This presentation was made by D. Shin at the NAFEMS European Conference, 'Coupled MBS-FE Applications: From Classical Design to System Engineering' that was held in Turin, Italy on 20 October 2015....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
