The NAFEMS UK Conference 2022 (NRC22 UK) took place in Milton Keynes on June 7th & 8th bringing end-users, developers, academics and industrialists together in one, independent gathering, the conference will feature several outstanding invited presentations, technical tracks, training courses and workshops under one roof. There is no other independent, technically focused event covering engineering analysis, modelling and simulation The NRC22 UK brought together all those involved in analysis and simulation from every corner of industry and academia, giving an opportunity to advance their knowledge, give their organisation a competitive advantage, and be part of improving the technology itself....more
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
This presentation was made at the NAFEMS Americas Conference "Simulation in the Automotive Industry: Creating the Next Generation Vehicle" held on the 16-18 March 2021. The automotive engineering community is now confronting the largest technology transformation since its inception. The demand to manufacture cleaner, safer, and smarter vehicles, along with providing an overall enhanced driving and ride experience, has never been higher. As a result, engineering teams must discover, evaluate, and successfully implement leading-edge technology and methods to produce reliable, effective results. Hence, the challenges for automotive engineers are enormous and require a significant increase in the...more

The introduction of newer technologies, like powertrain electrification, active suspension, and driver assist modules (ADAS components), has made vehicle architecture more complex than ever. The ever-increasing need to bring these new technologies faster to market has led to a reduction in the automotive product development cycle. The manufacturers introduce new technologies in stages to facilitate market transition. This leads to hybridization in products and a need for variant management in vehicle platforms, for example carlines can have powertrain variants such as Internal Combustion Engine (ICE), Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) or Plugin Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV). These result in complex...more
It’s fair to say that artificial intelligence andmachine learning—and the process modeling, IPgovernance, and data-center challenges theybring—will continue to occupy significant bandwidthin the coming year, both in the media and in ourtechnical discussions. What we mustn’t do,however, is lose sight of everything else happeningin simulation and design. Here are a few of thetopics I’m most often asked about, and what I seehappening as we enter 2026. This article appeared in the January 2026 Issue of BENCHMARK....more
NAFEMS Americas hosted its biennial regional conference, formerly known as CAASE, on June 21-23, 2022, face-to-face, at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, Indiana! The NAFEMS Americas Regional Conference 2022 (NRC22 Americas) brought together the leading visionaries, developers, and practitioners of CAE-related technologies in an open forum, unlike any other, sharing experiences, discussing relevant trends, discovering common themes, and exploring future issues, including: What is the future for engineering analysis and simulation? Where will it lead us in the next decade? How can designers and engineers realize its full potential? What are the business, technological,...more
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

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
