  1. What is Simulation Data Management?

    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

  2. CAE to CAD

    CAE to CAD This event aimed to explore the existing, and state of the art solutions to provide feedback from CAE simulations to the CAD environment. This led to discussions which identified the limitations and barriers preventing users getting to the ultimate solution. Event Scope What feedback is required ? What data is required to support the feedback, i.e. parameters, values, precise geometry, mesh etc ? How is the feedback data managed ? How does the feedback benefit the overall design process ? Can Open Standards be part of the solution, or does it require a vendor supplied solution ? What methods are used to interpret the CAE data to provide the feedback ? How do closed loop systems...more

  3. Critical time step

    Critical time step In this section we discuss the stable step length – what is it, how is it calculated, how does it differ from the step length in an implicit analysis? Self test quiz Previous chapter Next chapter...more

  5. Towards Traceable and Reliable Model-Based Engineering: Adopting the Benefits of the Model Identity Card for Simulation

    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 With the ever-increasing speed of technology advancements in development of cyberphysical systems, there is a corresponding struggle to grasp system complexity and to establish an efficient development process. The different verification and validation (V&V) phases are becoming an increasingly vital part in today’s engineering processes having to address stricter safety and environmental regulations. A model-based design methodology is widely adopted for verification and validation, but...more

  6. Pervasive Systems Thinking & Simulation - Who, What, Where, Why & How….

    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

  7. Hardware Considerations for Efficient Finite Element Analysis

    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

  10. The Functional Mockup Interface – FMI: Introduction and Use Cases

    The Functional-Mockup-Interface has been a remarkable success story for a standard: developed in a European Research project with a first release in 2010 it has become the de-facto standard for exchanging system models between tools, and for co-simulations.FMI is by now supported by more than 140 tools and counting. In this Webinar we look at how FMI works, what its main use cases are, and why engineers responsible for simulation workflows and model-based design should know about it. A Functional-Mockup-Unit is a model that conforms to the FMI Standard. We look at co-simulation using FMUs, and what implications co-simulation has for collaborative workflows within and across organizations. We...more
