Next week, ESRD will co-sponsor, exhibit and present at the NAFEMS America’s 2017 event “Aerospace Simulation Engineering: The Big Issues”.  This one-day event on November 8, 2017 will focus on addressing the new & demanding requirements for numerical simulation in the Aerospace & Defense industry.

Here is an excerpt from the event website:

Aerospace manufacturers and suppliers are facing an increasingly challenging and competitive marketplace as their products are becoming more complex via tighter integration of systems and cyber-physical environments. The current industry demands that engineers design safe and reliable aircraft, meet increasingly stringent fuel-economy standards, invent cost-effective approaches for exploiting new fabrication techniques such as additive manufacturing and use of cutting-edge design-for-purpose materials. Utilizing the latest engineering simulation tools effectively, accurately and efficiently to meet business goals has never been more critical, as aerospace engineering continues to move into a highly-advanced technological space.

NAFEMS Americas and NIAR are co-hosting a one-day event to facilitate awareness and a deeper discussion into how the following “Big Issues” identified by NAFEMS can address these challenges:

• Simulation Governance
• Democratization
• Certification by Simulation
• Systems Simulation
• SDM Implementation
• Manufacturing Process Simulation
• HPC Deployment
• Simulation & Additive Manufacturing

This conference will cover a wide range of topics, addressing every aspect of analysis & simulation in engineering in the aerospace industry.

ESRD will have a booth for meet & greets, as well as present on the following:

• 11:35-12:05: The Role of Simulation Governance in the Democratization of Simulation Through Sim Apps Used in the A&D Industry (Dr. Ricardo Actis)
• 1:20-1:50: Improving Global-Local Simulation Workflows for High-Fidelity Stress and Damage Tolerance Analysis (Mr. Eric Buettmann)

We look forward to connecting with the NAFEMS community on these topics, and meeting you face to face!
