4101. Physical Test Data for Simulation Engineers

      Physical Test Data for Simulation Engineers The NAFEMS Education and Training Working Group wishes to commission a new publication titled “Physical Test Data for Simulation Engineers". Intended Readership This will be a book aimed at simulation engineers to provide a better understanding of the accuracy, calibration, uncertainty and limitations of physical test data. The book will address laboratory material data needed in FE simulations and test data used to validate FE solutions. Content The following topics are suggested: Types of experimental errors Quantification of errors, precision and accuracy Measurement and propagation of uncertainties Simplifications in simulation models Sensitivity...more

4102. ASSESS Congress 2018 - Opening Remarks

      This Presentation, ASSESS Congress 2018 - Opening Remarks, is from 2018. 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

4104. How to – Model the Additive Manufacturing Process

      Over the last decade the Additive Manufacturing process has attracted a high level of interest due to the potential that the process has to revolutionise the way engineering companies design products. As well as offering rapid cycle times from initial concept to finished product it also allows previously unmanufacturable designs to be produced. However, even with AM, it is not possible to just “print” any shape out of metal. Distortion and cracking are recurring issues. Process simulation has a key role to play in resolving these issues and optimising the process parameters. This document provides guidance for people wanting to predict residual stress and distortion of metal additive manufactured...more

4105. Optimising your Design for Manufacturing

      Presentation made by B. Patel at the NAFEMS UK Regional Conference - Engineering Simulation: The Future Begins Today held in Telford, England on the 15th and 16th of June 2016....more

4106. How do you get ready for 2030? You've got to start now: How simulation is changing and what you need to do to keep up

      How do you get ready for 2030? You've got to start now: How simulation is changing and what you need to do to keep up 5-minute read Monica Schnitger - August 29th 2022 In the webinar ‘The Changing World of Simulation’ Monica Schnitger, founder, president, and principal analyst at Schnitger Corporation gives us the lay of the land in terms of where we are in the world of simulation and where it looks like we’re headed. The webinar is packed with insights and ideas from the industry expert. Delivered in her clear and concise style, it will give anyone interested in charting a way forward in the rapidly changing climate that simulation engineering finds itself in plenty to think about....more

4107. Simulating Metal Forming Processes – Material Characterisation

      Metal forming simulations are increasingly adopted by manufacturers to improve the quality and performance of products and processes while shortening development cycles so that these products can be brought to market earlier. Successful simulation of metal forming processes requires a range of input data about the geometry of the workpiece and tooling, the process forces and tooling motion and, above all, the characteristics of the workpiece material. The accuracy of the results depend on having a good understanding of this input data. In this webinar we introduce manufacturing process simulation methods for a range of metal forming operations and then review the material characterisation requirements...more

4108. Exploding Dough And Fun With Carrots

      Exploding Dough And Fun With Carrots by Tony Abbey, FE Training Welcome to my first blog for NAFEMS and an unusual title. It has been a very busy two weeks travelling and teaching the NAFEMS “Introduction to FEA” class in the UK and Holland. As usual each class was very different - depending on the background of the client company and the individuals attending. Both classes were fun, I always enjoy meeting fellow engineers and talking about FEA and engineering. Two or three days working with a group gives a great opportunity to find out about everyone’s background, what aspects of analysis they are involved with and the engineering behind the products or process. It is a privilege to have...more

4109. What About Quality?

      Presentation made by O. Widlund, M. Stallgard, J. Ask at the NAFEMS Nordic Conference 'Engineering Simulation: Best Practices, New Developments, Future Trends' that was held in Gothenburg, Sweden on 10-11 May 2016....more

4110. The Role of Manufacturing Simulation in Automotive Product Development – Upfront Evaluation of Formability and Cost

      This presentation was made at NAFEMS UK Conference 2018, Taking Engineering Analysis and Simulation to the Next Level". The NAFEMS UK Conference 2018 brought together all those involved in analysis and simulation from every corner of industry and academia, giving them an opportunity to advance their knowledge, give their organisations a competitive advantage, and a chance to be part of improving the technology itself. Resource Abstract Computer aided engineering methods have been applied to the simulation of manufacturing processes for many years. Techniques such as finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) were applied to trouble shoot problems arising in production....more
