  1. 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

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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

  5. 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

  6. 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

  7. The Role of Manufacturing Simulation in Automotive Product Development - Upfront Evaluation of Formability and Cost

    Virtual Engineering is routinely used as a key tool in the development, optimisation, and verification of products alongside design guidelines and prototypes testing. For a considerable part of the process the only available assessments originate from simulations, engineers must therefore ensure the virtual results are not only delivered but also effectively used. This includes meeting several criteria such as timing, accuracy, robustness, limitations and suggestions appropriate to the project stage. Setting the quality requirements in this loop has been a common responsibility for the simulation specialists and the consumers of simulation results.Now virtual engineering is becoming more accessible...more

  8. CFD for Structural Designers & Analysts

    T​his course has now been retired, and it's contents incorporated into the expanded "Introduction to Practical CFD" course. Do you need a more accurate approach to include fluid loads or thermal boundary conditions for structural analyses than idealized and simplified approaches? Do you know the important fluid dynamics phenomena in multidisciplinary problems? What is the role of CFD in strongly coupled fluid-structure interactions? Get the answers to these questions and more with this industry-leading, code-independent e-learning course. CFD for Structural Designers & Analysts This 3-session, live online course will cover a range of topics, all aimed at the structural designer and analyst who...more

  9. Agent-Driven Workflows in Engineering Simulation

    These slides were presented at the NAFEMS Americas Conference 2026 , held on 27-29th of May 2026 in Saint Charles, MO, USA....more
