  3. 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

  4. 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

  5. Are We Ready for Digital Twins? Engineering.com Audience Survey of Perceptions and Readiness

    This magazine article, Are We Ready for Digital Twins? Engineering.com Audience Survey of Perceptions and Readiness, is from 2020. 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. Formula SAE Impact Attenuator Simulation Challenge

    This challenge is proposed by the NAFEMS Impact Shock & Crash Working Group , ISCWG, which focuses on all aspects of explicit dynamic simulations, including impact, shock, drop testing, blast loading, and ballistics. The proposed challenge encompasses a wide range of modelling considerations, such as mesh generation, representative boundary conditions, material behaviour characterization, instability and bifurcation phenomena, energy balance assessment, and the sensitivity of results to modelling assumptions. This interesting challenge is based on specifications developed during the Formula SAE initiative of SAE International, which “challenges students to conceive, design, fabricate, and compete...more
