S.A.F.E.R. Simulation Views: Toward Simulation-Driven Design

Feb 19, 2018 | S.A.F.E.R. Simulation Views |

Q&A’s with colleagues, experts and industry leaders

Introducing S.A.F.E.R. Simulation Views, where we invite colleagues, simulation experts, and A&D industry leaders to address simple questions about simulation.

In this edition of S.A.F.E.R. Simulation Views, we asked ESRD President & CEO Dr. Ricardo Actis about simulation-driven design.

Q: What do you see as an important issue or challenge faced by the A&D industry to achieve the wider, more reliable use of simulation software such that the vision of simulation-driven design can be realized?

Dr. Actis responds:

ESRD President and CEO Dr. Ricardo Actis

While finite element modeling originated in the aerospace industry way back in the 60’s, unfortunately, it has largely remained a practice of FEA specialists due to the level of expertise and experience required. There are many valid reasons for this that often confuse engineering managers, but getting the right mesh for a problem and getting the mesh right is always near the top of why it takes an expert and much time to get a good solution.

Yet looking at this more closely, the focus should not be the level of modeling skills of the user, but the level of intelligence in the software. Nearly all of the most popular legacy FEA software used by the A&D industry are based on the practice of finite element modeling and as such, none of them provide a simple Q/A dashboard to advise the non-expert user if they had a good solution.

Only the new generation of numerical simulation software based on hierarchic modeling that supports the practice of simulation governance can offer this capability to make simulation by non-experts simple, accurate, fast, efficient, and reliable.

Up Next…

We will pose the same question to a user of simulation software solving problems in the A&D industry.  Stay tuned!

Testimonials

  • “Of the three FEA products we use, StressCheck® gives me the most confidence when it comes to performing post-processing quality checks on multi-body contact analysis results.  StressCheck® has the capability to extract any data of interest and convergence information for that data at any location in the model domain; the other two FEA products do not.  And when it comes to interference fit multi-body contact solutions, I haven’t found any software to outperform StressCheck®.”
