Learn how organisations are generating confidence in theirsimulation capabilityHaving a simulation capability is no longer a differentiator. To remain competitive companiesneed to have a capability and be able to use the capability effectively to produce results that arereliable and repeatable. Generating confidence in the capability of the simulation team isessential to move analysis from being a ‘tick box’ in the design process to a strategic capability.

Discover how organisations are extending the benefits ofsimulation to their non-expert usersPutting simulation into the hands of the non-expert is a subject that elicits much discussionwithin NAFEMS committees. On one hand, NAFEMS aims to act as an advocate for the deploymentof simulation, and extending the capability of running simulations or accessing simulationresults to inform strategic decisions is viewed positively. However, if the capabilities are notcontrolled errors and incorrect assumptions will lead to simulation being viewed with suspicion.

Understand how leading companies are using theirsimulation capability to support product certificationEngineering analysis and simulation offers significant cost and time savings byreducing the amount of experimental testing that is required to design a product sothat it is fit for purpose.

Learn why simulation engineers should be aware ofthe role played by the systems engineerWith increasing product complexity the role of the systems engineer has becomemore prevalent. Systems Engineering involves an integration of multipledisciplines to form a development process that proceeds from concept toproduction.

Join the discussion on what considerations should betaken into account when implementing an SDM systemCompanies wishing to implement SDM often find it very difficult to put off-the-shelfofferings into production. Most managers and practitioners in EngineeringSimulation organisations have little experience in designing information systemsand are ill-equipped to run a selection process to ensure that the proposed solutionwill deliver the expected benefits.

Why Attend?

Join the discussion on how to embed analysis and simulation intothe manufacturing culture within your organisationWhile the benefits of incorporating simulation into the manufacturing process are clear, manufacturingprocess simulations are inherently complicated. The processes that are being simulated are oftenhighly coupled Multiphysics environments with the input properties required by the material modelsoften difficult to obtain and subject to significant variability. Accurate modelling of the physicalprocesses can result in long run times that do not meet the requirements of the manufacturing team.

Find out how the major engineering analysis codes are evolving toaddress new HPC trendsThe last decade has seen the cost of hardware fall dramatically meaning that the cost of softwarelicenses is now a significant consideration when selecting hardware to support an organisation’sanalysis capability. Many numerical codes scale extremely well and are taking advantage of recentadvances in terms of utilising GPUs. With many experts predicting that the end is finally nigh forMoore’s law where does that leave the simulation engineer?

Learn how simulation can support the 3D printing revolutionAdditive manufacturing is a breakthrough technology that has the ability to produce parts withouttooling. This method has seen widespread publicity in recent years and, as the technology advancesand the costs continue to fall, additive manufacturing is expected to become more prevalent and leadto innovative new designs.

Stockholmone city, Fourteen islands

The two-year wait is over; June sees the return of the biennial NAFEMSWorld Congress in the stunning Swedish capital Stockholm, rightfullybranded the ‘Capital of Scandinavia’. This, however, is not a capital citylike any other. Situated at the confluence of Lake Malaren and the BalticSea, Stockholm is comprised of an incredible 14 islands, all connected bya network of over 5O bridges and viaducts.

These islands showcase the vibrant cultural history and the innovative, future-shaping character of Stockholm. From the congress venue, a twenty-minute walk overthe picturesque Vasabron (Vasa Bridge) will take you to the cobbled streets ofStockholm’s 13th century historic heart, Gamla stan. nafe.ms/2nsovdv

Follow the delightful and charming narrow streets of this fairy tale world and you willdiscover the Royal palace - official residence of the present day Swedish monarchy,the National cathedral of Sweden, the Nobel Museum to name just a few of thebuildings in this part of the city. If all that walking leaves you with sore feet, thenstop at Stortorget, the oldest square in Stockholm and take a few moments to enjoythe picturesque setting.

Don’t let the fairy tale world of Gamla stan fool you, Stockholm is one of the mostforward thinking and innovative cities in the world. Just a short subway ride away inthe Johanneshov neighbourhood you will find the Ericsson Globe - the world’s mosthemispherical building. Here you can find out about this impressive engineering featand take a glass sky-car to the very top of the building where you will be rewardedwith spectacular views of Stockholm. Of course you need not look any further than thestunning congress venue to find evidence of Swedish engineering and architecturalingenuity. The building is a gleaming steel, glass and concrete constructionboasting green energy credentials that will impress the renewables engineer andfatigue and fracture aficionado in equal measure.

While we’re on the subject of glass and concrete, the award winning Scandic VictoriaTower is a unique hotel building in the neighbourhood of Kista, home of the KistaScience City kista.com. The hotel building continues Stockholm’s tradition ofcreativity and innovation but also has a sense of playful creativity about it, provingthat high tech engineering need not just be functional. Clothed entirely in areflective glass skin, the building seems to play a game of ‘now you see me, now youdon’t’ with the viewer - it is a definite must see.

Once you have taken advantage of the many free short-training courses on offer during thecongress, why not continue your learning with an informative boat tour around this city ofislands? You can take your time on a 3-hour guided tour, a flexible 24-hour hop-on/off ticketor a quick 5O-minute canal tour. An extra day or two before or after the congress will give youenough time to experience the magic of the further 3O,OOO (yes, really) islands, islets androcks that comprise the greater Stockholm archipelago nafe.ms/2ns8s2g which stretcheseastward from the city over an area of some 6O kilometres. Among the many gems you canvisit in the archipelago is, notably, Ytterby- the tiny village that can claim the names of notone but four elements on the periodic table- we’ll let you figure out which ones! The islandsof the archipelago offer everything from the sandy beaches of aptly named Sandhamn to therugged dramatic cliffs of Utö further to the south. All these and more can be reached viaStockholm’s excellent network of ferries, trains and buses.

If time is precious then the city’s 14 main islands will give you more than enough to do. Juneis the perfect time to find yourself in Stockholm if for no other reason than the joy of having18 glorious hours of daylight, all the more time to unwind and enjoy Stockholm after a day ofengineering simulation. Hop from island to island and take in their different characters, fromhip Sodermalm to the green island of Djurgårdenas with its gardens and excellent museums.

We hope we have piqued your interest and look forward towelcoming you to the NAFEMS World Congress 2O17 in Stockholm,Sweden’s wonderful city of islands – you will be glad you came.

If you work up an appetite, your choices of eateryextend much, much further than herring andmeatballs. From the very chic Nordic Cuisineeateries on Östermalm to the award winningseasonal fare on the menus of the restaurants and bistros on Lilla Essingen, you will be spoiltfor choice. Every palate is catered for in thisthoroughly global yet uniquely Scandinavian city.

One of the most characteristically Swedish traditions of all is Midsummer, when thesky never darkens. In 2O17 it's celebrated on June 24, just a few days after theCongress - you'll never get a better opportunity to experience this magical festival.

This short overview looks at the range of optimization techniques available in FEA today. A brief history shows the development of these methods and the various strengths and weaknesses. The future role of optimization is discussed – particularly when aligned with new manufacturing methods and vastly improving computing resources. The final topic is the continuing role of the engineer in providing the required innovation and definition of the optimization task.

Industrial decision-making increasingly relies on engineering simulation. It is therefore essential to provide objective evidence of credibility to decision-makers and stakeholders. This short course introduces key concepts, methodologies and related standards (ISO, NAFEMS, ASME...) aimed at building simulation credibility including, management of modeling & simulation processes, data, competences and Simulation Verification and Validation (V&V) including code verification, solution verification and validation with emphasis on physical testing. Finally it provides an overview of implementation issues, strategies and recommended practises.

This session will provide an overview to the fundamentals of Simulation Data Management. It will serve equally well as a basic introduction to those who are new to the technology, and a refresher for those who already have an elementary understanding of the concepts. It will provide an excellent foundation for delegates intending to attend aspects of the SPDM conference.

Image-based modelling from 3D scans (MRI, CT, mCT and more) enables detailed analysis and simulation of complex natural and artificial structures. Join this workshop to learn about the key techniques, benefits  and opportunities offered by image-based modelling and its many applications in areas across engineering sectors, from life sciences to materials research to reverse engineering.

This course aims to introduce the essential principles of fluid dynamics, important flow phenomena, and basics of CFD process to structural engineers and how CFD can be beneficial for their multidisciplinary problems.

This course will cover natural frequencies, damping, signal identification, failure modes and excitation types.  Several video clips will be shown including the drop transient of a Pegasus launch vehicle, helicopter ground resonance and aircraft flutter.

Due to the nature of composite materials, stress analysis and failure prediction is far more complex than isotropic materials. The objective of this overview is to break down the composite FE analysis process into clearly defined steps, give an overview of the physics involved and show how to implement practical solutions using Finite Element Analysis.

The ASSESS (Analysis, Simulation, and Systems Engineering Software Strategies) Initiative was formed to bring together key players for guiding and influencing the software strategies with a primary goal to facilitate this revolution of enablement that will vastly increase the availability and utility of engineering simulation, leading to significantly increased usage and business benefit from these computing technologies across the full spectrum of industries, applications and users. The ASSESS Initiative interacts and collaborates with multiple initiatives, activities and organizations across the complete spectrum of Engineering Simulation, including NAFEMS, INCOSE, IEEE, and many others.

The objective of turbulence modelling is to develop equations that will predict the time-averaged velocity, pressure, and temperature fields without calculating the complete turbulent flow pattern as a function of time.

Many problems facing engineers are nonlinear in nature, where the response of a structure cannot be simply assessed using linear assumptions. One of the most difficult tasks facing an engineer is to decide whether a nonlinear analysis is really needed and if so what degree of nonlinearity should be applied. This overview will examine these issues, and look at the best ways of creating an analysis plan that matches key objectives. The objective of turbulence modelling is to develop equations that will predict

the time-averaged velocity, pressure, and temperature fields without calculating the complete turbulent flow pattern as a function of time.

This course provides a view into practical application of CFD in real life applications and the challenges faced due to presence of turbulence, heat transfer, phase changes, and movement of boundaries. Through a simple and moderately technical approach, this course covers topics such as the role of CFD, basic formulation, governing equations and use of model equations, steps in CFD process, need for turbulence modeling, and CFD best practices.

A look at the latest structural topology optimization developments and workflows, using non-parametric optimization, enabling industrial designers to take advantage of innovative design opportunities leveraged by additive manufacturing.

PDTec will present the Simulation Data Management solution SimData Manager and will demonstrate the features and benefits of SDM:e.g. CAD models integration, CAE tool integration, CAD-CAE Mapping, Versioning, Revisioning, Audit Trail traceability, HPC adaption, Key results & reporting, Workflow generation, User & Task management, etc.

Discover how pervasive engineering simulation can assist you in the design and analysis of your equipment and the systems that control them so that you can meet your IIoT engineering and business objectives. Topics include system-level modeling and simulation, integration with 3-D physics, and embedded systems and software engineering.

The last 50 years have undoubtedly seen a remarkable journey of the CAE technology - maturing from a rather restricted computational tool to "play with" into a comprehensive digital solution and a “game changer” across industries.The presentation will show this expedition as travelled by ESI Group - highlighting how their own approach has evolved from isolated simulation tools into integrated solution for virtual prototyping and how it is recently been coupled with digital twin technology so it can provide a comprehensive solution for the entire Product Performance Lifecycle to meet the new challenges of the 21st century.

G. Sethuraman K. Hanna, R. Bornoff, M. Gruetzmacher R. Paßmann, P. Straetemans

Often, design engineers need to perform simulations to know about stiffness and deformation strength when single parts or smaller assemblies are subjected to different loads. When those analyses are integrated into CAD systems, modeling and results can be done in short terms. The authors will give an overview about potential applications in a wide range of complexity.

M. Hack 0 R. Paßmann, P. Straetemans In today’s complex product landscape, simulation is happening both

earlier and later in the product lifecycle. The next generation of products requires simulation management to look beyond the traditional design process. Connected products enable simulations based on actual operating conditions instead of assumed values – leading to service orders and even product design changes. The challenge is managing this data in the proper context to enable configuration and change management. To deal with this reality we offer a platform-based approach to integrate domain-specific simulation environments and manage the surrounding business processes. This combination can allow you to realize the digital thread and twin concepts by capturing your product information throughout its lifecycle.

Finite element simulations need to be predictive when used in virtual development. The authors will provide an overview of needed basics with regard to geometric representation, modeling of materials as well as joining techniques and numerical methods.

The NAFEMS World Congress

as well as an excellent technical program, thenaFeMs World congress has become renowned for its gala dinner, and 2o17 will be no different!

Being held at The Vasa Museum, home of the onlypreserved seventeenth-century ship in the world,and a unique art treasure, you can be sure that thiswill be an evening to remember. More than 95percent of the ship is original, and it is decoratedwith hundreds of carved sculptures.

The 69 meter-long warship Vasa sank on its maidenvoyage in the middle of Stockholm in 1628, and wassalvaged 333 years later in 1961. For nearly half acentury the ship has been slowly, deliberately andpainstakingly restored to a state approaching itsoriginal glory. The three masts on the roof outsidethe specially built museum show the height of theship's original masts. Today the Vasa Museum is themost visited museum in Scandinavia, with over onemillion visitors a year.
