Verification - How Much Should I Do? A Discussion with the NAFEMS SGMWG 4-minute read NAFEMS SGMWG - May 4th 2022 In the next part of this series, the NAFEMS Simulation Governance & Management Working Group discussed how much verification you need to do, and when to do it. As well as reading the conversation here, you can watch the video on YouTube. The discussion features William Oberkampf (WO) & Gregory Westwater (GW), members of the NAFEMS Simulation Governance & Management Working Group Is there an answer to the question “how much verification should we do”? GW: When we've had auditors or customers come in, some of them have wildly different opinions on what verification is....more
These slides were presented at the NAFEMS World Congress 2025, held in Salzburg, Austria from May 19–22, 2025. Abstract Computational modelling is invaluable in solving complex problems in various industries. But effective modelling requires balancing multiple, often conflicting, attributes such as accuracy, speed, simplicity, and predictive power. These requirements invariably come with trade-offs: a more accurate model might be slower or more complex; a faster model may have limited predictive capability, and so on. In this context, what makes a model good? Successful model development needs to account for three axes: the needs of the product, the people, and its impact and purpose. On the...more

What is Simulation Data Management? (Click on the image to download the document or click hereunder) This NAFEMS publication is available to download for free. What is simulation data management? Simulation is key to digital product development, manufacturing, and life cycle management. “Simulation” also known as “Computer Aided Engineering (CAE)” or “Analysis” is the use of computer tools, which are based on fundamental physical laws, to evaluate aspects of product performance. Companies everywhere want to take advantage of simulations in order to develop better products faster and cheaper. They want to extend simulations early, during product...more
NAFEMS Americas and Digital Engineering (DE) teamed up (once again) to present CAASE, the (now Virtual) Conference on Advancing Analysis & Simulation in Engineering, on June 16-18, 2020! CAASE20 brought together the leading visionaries, developers, and practitioners of CAE-related technologies in an open forum, unlike any other, to share experiences, discuss relevant trends, discover common themes, and explore future issues, including: -What is the future for engineering analysis and simulation? -Where will it lead us in the next decade? -How can designers and engineers realize its full potential? What are the business, technological, and human enablers that will take past successful developments...more
The presentation will delve into the transformative trends and groundbreaking technologies reshaping the Engineering Simulation industry. What are the long-term implications of technological disruptions, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Generative AI (GenAI), on the evolving role of engineering simulation in the years to come? Are we expecting changes in the ecosystems or evolving business models? Drawing on insights from leading experts, the session will provide a forward-looking perspective on how these trends could shape the future, unlocking new opportunities and challenges for professionals and organizations in the field....more

The first webinar in this series on "Pervasive Systems Thinking & Simulation: Who, What, When, Where, Why & How?" will help to establish a fundamental understanding of Systems Thinking as a critical complement to the reductionist design approach. As part of the discussion, we will explore the need for pervasive simulation across the entire product lifecycle as a critical tool for the design, manufacture and maintenance of tomorrow’s interconnected multidisciplinary products....more
In this webinar Jeff discusses what hardware configurations to pursue to get the most efficient solutions from your FEA tools. He examines various hardware components such as processors, RAM, GPUs, and hard drives and how they interact with your FEA databases and solvers. Jeff also delves into various solution algorithms and how they are affected by your hardware setup. Finally, he will explores different cluster solution options for even more capacity and speed beyond your workstation....more
