Free NAFEMS Webinars in May - June
NAFEMS, the international modeling and simulation association, is offering two free webinars in May and June 2023.
Harnessing the Power of Modelling & Simulation in the Food & Drinks Industry (3 May)
The food and drinks industry is worth over $5 trillion globally and involves complex processes and technologies. Engineering modelling and simulation (M&S) can optimize every step of the process from equipment design to product manufacturing, packaging, and distribution, saving time, money, and resources. NAFEMS' newly formed Food and Drinks Industry Community (FDIC) will provide guidance on ways of working towards solving industry-specific problems and introduce the community during their first webinar. The webinar is a prequel to a face-to-face event being held in the Autumn in Birmingham, UK where the community will share experiences, examine and solve unique industry-specific problems, and create a vibrant community of analysts and designers.

Handling Flexible Bodies in Multibody Dynamics (20 June)
Multibody Dynamics (MBD) simulation is becoming increasingly important in understanding the relationships between actuators, control systems, and final performances of mechatronic systems. While rigid multi-body simulation is suitable in situations where bodies do not undergo significant deformations, flexible multi-body simulation is necessary when compliance induces appreciable deformations. Modal reduction methods have been used for many years to implement flexible bodies in multi-body simulation, but they may provide unreliable results in situations of large deformations or other non-linearities. The best approach is to describe the finite element problem within the multibody dynamics equations, but only a few commercial tools currently adopt this method. This webinar provides an overview of these topics and best practices for including flexible bodies in multi-body simulation. Register here
