  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

  7. 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

  8. 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
