  1. ASSESS Congress 2016 - Closing Remarks

    This Presentation, ASSESS Congress 2016 - Closing Remarks, is from 2016. NAFEMS & ASSESS members can view / download when logged in. The ASSESS Initiative is a broad reaching multi-industry initiative with a primary goal to facilitate a revolution of enablement that will vastly increase the availability and utility of Engineering Simulation, leading to significantly increased business benefits across the full spectrum of industries, applications and users. Since June 2022, ASSESS as been part of NAFEMS....more

  2. Numerical Simulation in Accordance with Geotechnical Design Codes

    Advantages to verifying ultimate limit state (ULS) by numerical simulation include the checking of multiple failure forms that are not pre-determined and more accurate constitutive modelling. However, geotechnical simulation is particularly challenging due to the high non-linearity of ground constitutive behaviour and interactions with stiff structures. The next generation of the European geotechnical design standard Eurocode 7 will be the first to cover numerical simulation specifically and this webinar will provide an overview of the new rules and the reasoning behind them, together with worked examples....more

  3. Incorporation of Product and System Optimization (PSO) Methods into Compact, Reliable Design Cycles

    Product and System Optimisation Incorporation of Product and System Optimization (PSO) Methods into Compact, Reliable Design Cycles Workshop Description This workshop is concerned with educational & awareness issues, including identifying barriers to successful uptake of emerging and relatively mature technologies. The workshop will be structured into two parts, a discussion session where issues are identified and technical presentations where specific methods are presented along with summaries of state of the art. The technical focus for this workshop is Design of Experiments and Response Surface Analysis. The workshop will also address the following questions: • What are the...more

  7. Optimizing Organizational Models to Improve Simulation Efficiencies

    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 BACKGROUND: The benefits of Modeling and Simulation (M&S) are well known and documented both within Medtronic and in external literature. However, there is a question concerning the most efficient means to organize the inclusion of M&S into the product development cycle. We tested the hypothesis that a hybrid development process (PDP) involving both Empirical and M&S methods in Centralized or Decentralized organizational structures lead to improvements in throughput and resource utilization....more

  8. Concluding Remarks

    7. C​oncluding 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

  9. How Do You Know if you are Executing the Right Simulations at the Right Time?

    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

  10. Talking Shop with Tony Abbey - Episode 10 - What are spider elements in FEA - why rigid and flexible types?

    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
