How do I make sure management understand my results? How can I present technical information to non-technical colleagues? How do I make my conference presentation really stand-out? Get the answers to these questions and more with this transformative course. Using techniques and materials which have been adopted by many of the major companies in the engineering analysis and simulation industry, this course will supercharge your communication skills and give you a unique advantage. How to Effectively Communicate Innovative Ideas You’re the expert. The thing is, many of the people making final decisions on hardware and software investments, and signing-off your final designs, are not. You need...more
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
Stochastics Publications A key activity of all of NAFEMS working groups is to produce best practice and guidance documents. To date, a number of publications have been produced which will benefit novices and experts alike. Below is a list of NAFEMS current stochastics publications. What is Uncertainty Quantification (UQ)? Challenges In Uncertainty Quantification Stochastics and its Role in Robust Design...more
Simulation is changing how we design and bring products to market, creating competitive advantages for companies that take advantage of these advances. We’ll talk about what we can expect in the evolving world of simulation— and ask essential questions to help you navigate these changes. Monica Schnitger - President and Principal Analyst, Schnitger Corporation...more
7. Concluding Remarks Concluding Remarks Having got a valid result from the model, what should the engineer do next if the process has failed? The steps to be taken are outlined before a discussion of the role of optimisation in both parameter target setting and robustness evaluation. Quiz Previous chapter Next chapter...more
Analytical modeling and simulations are a part of most companies' product development process these days. Typically, there are a group of highly specialized CAE analysts that perform various physics-based simulations that consume significant budget resources, and time. If done correctly, the simulations are typically conducted early in the development phase in order to determine if a proposed solution will work under the desired boundary conditions. However, this may not be the case if your company is resource limited or directs most of the CAE resources to use simulations to assess post-test failures. Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE) processes have been implemented within the product...more
Talking Shop with Tony Abbey Episode 10 - What are 'spider' elements in FEA - why rigid and flexible types? NAFEMS is talking shop with Tony Abbey on a range of topics relevant to, and suggested by, the engineering analysis community. This free series is open to everyone , and we hope you can join us online. We kicked off each session with a brief presentation on the subject from Tony, and thereafter, open up the floor for written questions and thoughts from you, the audience. The sessions was moderated, allowing the host to put your questions and comments direct to Tony, and we also made each episode live on our youtube and vimeo channels, as well as sharing on social media. This week...more
Engineering Analysis & Simulation in the Automotive Industry: Electrification & Advanced Lightweighting Techniques Date: Thursday, April 27th, 2017 Location: Troy, MI Conference Presentations and Recordings Now Available! Access Presentations Access Presentations Recordings Overview As government demands aggressive Fuel Economy and CO2 carbon emissions requirements, it has become imperative for engineers to look for new and inventive solutions to meet the imposed demands to deliver fuel efficient clean vehicles. These are being achieved by intense efforts of electrification of powertrains, as well as aggressive weight reduction efforts imposed during the vehicle development. Automotive...more
This presentation was made at the NAFEMS Eastern European Seminar held in Budapest Hundary on November the 27th 2017. This seminar focused on the trends and the new methodologies of numerical simulation and answered the new objectives of the automotive industry.What are the new needs of the automotive industry and by what methods of numerical simulation will engineers be able to face these new elements?...more
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 “Combining the modelling and simulation perspectives of both systems engineering and engineering simulation can improve communications and coordination across the product development lifecycle.” The authors firmly believe that this conference tag line is not only true but is achievable today with the right infrastructure, (existing) building blocks, and product development methodologies. If so, then why has this desirable goal been elusive? The authors believe that many pervasive issues...more
