  1. Software Selection

    F​unctionality In this section, we will address one of the most important aspects of finite element package selection: functionality. We will discuss what factors determine the functionality of the software and discuss how to weight finite element software functionality against your needs. Geometry creation Solid modeling and geometry preparation make up a key step in the finite element modeling process. Here we will discuss what geometry creation and modification tools are necessary to the finite element software user. We will also discuss various geometry import options and steer you toward the most ideal approach. FEA Packages In this section, we will explore the differences between...more

  2. Platform-Independent Integration of SysML with 1-D 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 Model-based systems engineering uses representations of system requirements, behaviors, and architectures to communicate complex system specifications among engineering teams and their stakeholders. Systems modeling languages capture these representations to help organize a wide variety of engineering activities, many of whom develop discipline-specific simulation models. Many simulation models are built with equation-based languages, containing detailed behavior specifications and analytics...more

  8. How to Perform Optimisation Under Uncertainty

    How to Perform Optimisation Under Uncertainty This NAFEMS publication, contributed by the ESTEcO engineering software company, focuses on Design Optimisation Under Uncertainty (OUU) methods. Further valuable insights on OUU are provided by the Dynardo engineering software company in a companion NAFEMS publication Irobust Design Optimization in Virtual Product Development" by Johannes Will. This publication provides: a) a description of the Smoothing Spline ANOVA (SSYANOVA) screening method, b) a comparison of Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) methods: sample based and Polynomial chaos Expansion (PcE), c) and a description of robust Design Optimisation (rDO) and reliability Based...more
