  1. 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

  2. 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

  3. 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

  6. 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

  7. Translating Best Practice into Fit-for-Purpose Analysis: Case Studies and Examples

    For many companies there is a growing desire to improve the accuracy of their CFD simulations, in order to improve correlation to experiments and to allow more of their design to be undertaken in CFD. This seminar focussed on these high-fidelity methods and in particular the role of grid design and resolution, HPC and the formulation of the approaches themselves. Through several presentations from experts representing some of the key engineering sectors (automotive, aerospace, oil & gas, nuclear), practical examples of these methods were presented, offering attendees a chance to understand and question if these methods could be applied to their simulations. The major CFD code vendors were also...more

  9. Setting out Your Stall - The Business of Simulation with Monice Schnitger

    Acquisitions continue to occur almost weekly inthe CAE space. Big ones, as Synopsys gobbles up Ansys and Siemens snaps up Altair, but also smaller ones, as traditional CAE vendors expand their offerings by adding physics, visualization, data/processes management, and other capabilities. We're also seeing outsiders buy into this steadily growing, lucrative space, especially as new entrants promise AI will revolutionize design and validation processes. This article appeared in the July 2025 Issue of BENCHMARK....more

  10. 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
