3275. 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

3278. Credibility is Everything

      Credibility is Everything (Or How to Get the Most from Verification and Validation…) 5-minute read Sinothile Baloyi - March 31st 2022 “I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.” - Thomas Edison Sure, and well done for persisting Edison, but how much did that cost in time and materials? Yikes! Luckily, we have come a long way since, and nowadays we can simulate and perform those 10,000 iterations within much, much shorter time frames and without the cost of physical testing. Great for the company’s finances and the environment, not to mention the engineers – after all, who really wants to repeat the same physical test 10,000 times? But – there’s always a but! – how...more

3279. Simulation Governance: Managing Simulation as a Strategic Capability

      As companies drive towards virtual product development and complete digital descriptions of their products and manufacturing systems, simulation becomes increasingly important. A company’s actual capability to do simulation well, so it is repeatable, reliable, and robust, can become an important factor in quality, cost and time to market, and overall competitiveness. However, research shows that many companies are failing to achieve an effective (optimum) return on their investment in and commitment to simulation. In this opinion piece, Dr. Keith Meintjes of CIMdata—an internationally recognized authority on Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), proposes that simulation can be demonstrably superior...more
