Big Time Manager by The CAE Guy This is now what our two teenage daughters call me occasionally.Mostly in the context of when they think I am trying to get away with something. Such as: Oh, Dad thinks that since he’s a Big Time Manager now, he can do what he wants and not follow the rules. For teenagers, this happens relatively often as their “lens” on the world is decidedly different that most everyone else’s (a topic of many psychological dissertations and well outside this forum). That I am even referred to as a “Big Time Manager” by anyone is fairly ironic as I have never really seen myself as a manager but as a researcher. In a similar light, back when I was studying aeronautical engineering...more

The CFD interview by The CAE Guy Now that I have a few months to further settle in to the aero-thermal department manager role, I have had the chance to think more about expanding the role of Computational Fluid Dynamics within the department and potentially within the rest of the company as well. Our department certainly has an overall CFD strategy, but how that CFD strategy relates to the testing strategy within the entire development schedule could easily be re-thought. There is also the possibility of evaluating the always-developing software tools that we in the CAE community are well aware of. However, from my experience implementation of new (for the company, not newly developed) software...more
Abstract Electric vehicles are booming. There are plenty of engineering programs that are initiated each year. Engineering an electric vehicle requires advanced methods and tools. But it happens that these tools can barely exchange data between each others. Hence, understanding systems' interactions and boundary conditions can be complicated. It is however important to connect different engineering fields, different components and systems engineers, different domain specialist, to limit issues and errors happening at the interfaces. Creating, managing and maintaining a digital thread is a good way to safeguard what is happening at these interfaces and avoid communication issues. This paper...more
benchmark January 2010 Beyond the linear elastic range - discontinuous deformation analysis of concrete structure The beginning of a new decade – the start of a new year – the dawn of a new era. Well, ok, excuse the hyperbole, but best wishes to each and every one of you for 2010. At least we hope that it can’t be quite as bad as 2009... As we look back over the past 12 months and quickly decide to consign the year to the dustbin, it’s time to put our best foot forward into the New Year. As a Scotsman, Hogmanay (to give it its proper title) is usually the highlight of the holidays. As I’m writing this in mid-December however, I’m going to assume that as you read, my hangover has subsided (at...more

This issue of Benchmark is all about pushing further , doing more, building the impossible, and mapping out the future. We all have dreams and fanciful things we’d like to try, do, or build but never do. But what if you decided to start planning to build the...more
This presentation was made at the NAFEMS Americas Seminar "Model-Based Engineering: What is it & How Will It Impact Engineering Simulation" held on the 1st of October 2019 in Columbus Ohio Resource Abstract Over the last few decades, advances in high-performance computing, new materials characterization methods, and, more recently, an emphasis on integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) and additive manufacturing have been a catalyst for multiscale modeling and simulation-based design of materials and structures in the aerospace industry. As a result, NASA’s Transformational Tools and Technology (TTT) Project sponsored a study (performed by a team led by Pratt & Whitney) to define...more

Elsewhere in this issue, you'll read an inspiring piece on Sébastien Besse's quest to design a 3,000-meter tower. Why 3,000 meters? Where would it be? What would be its purpose? Answering these and many other questions led the author on a journey that covered geology, urban planning, and financing – and that’s before even considering the engineering challenges. All that leads me to ask: What's your 3,000-meter tower? I don't mean literally, but what's your bold idea? For yourself, for your company, for society? What stretch goal could you set to see what you can learn? This article appeared in the April 2025 Issue of BENCHMARK....more
