Simulation Governance & Management

This 15-minute recorded presentation was prepared for the NAFEMS World Congress (Salzburg, October 2021). It highlights the mission-oriented nature of simulation governance and presents an example of a model development project.

This webinar is now available to watch on-demand.

Calibration of the predictor.

WEBINAR SUMMARY

The main ideas of, and the case for, simulation governance are easy to understand.  The development and implementation of a plan for simulation governance is not at all easy, however, and requires careful consideration of the mission, and associated predictive model(s), at hand.

In this pre-recorded webinar, ESRD Chairman Dr. Barna Szabó addresses some of the key issues of simulation governance, including how model development must adhere to the requirements of simulation governance in order to minimize risk and magnify reliability.

Note: this webinar was originally prepared by Drs. Szabó and Actis for the NAFEMS World Congress 2021 session on Simulation Governance.

WEBINAR HIGHLIGHTS

  • Why planning for simulation governance is mission-dependent
  • Application of the concepts and procedures of predictive computational science: Focus on model development
  • Example of a model development project: Prediction of the probability of fatigue failure of a metal part subjected to cyclic loading in the high cycle range
  • Why the open-ended nature of model development projects makes the exercise of simulation governance essential

Testimonials

  • “Hearty congratulations to management and staff at ESRD on their 25th anniversary. The quality and capability of their software products are excellent. I hope that ESRD successfully continues for many more years with the fundamental principles of mathematical precision, numerical accuracy, and integrity in computational simulation.”

    Dr. William Oberkampf
    Author of Verification and Validation in Scientific Computing

Testimonials

“The p-type element has been used to great advantage in the finite element system ESRD StressCheck, [26]. This software provides the engineer with the means to conduct solution verification in an extremely straightforward manner by simply increasing the degree of the element, monitoring convergence and using Richardson extrapolation reliably to estimate the error. This can be conducted automatically by the software thereby enabling the engineer to concentrate on the engineering rather than the simulation. StressCheck has also been used to develop ESRD’s Handbook and Toolbox applications. The first of these provides engineers with a repository of parameterised standard problems of the type found in texts like Roark’s “Formulas for Stress and Strain”, [27]. The second, Toolbox, is a tool that can be used to parameterise a company’s range of components for rapid and reliable analysis by non-expert analysis. Toolbox then is an exemplary of the way in which the democratisation of simulation can be applied.”
