Advances in Physics-Based Engineering Analysis Tools in Industry
Rapid advances in Modeling and Simulation technologies, as part of the Digital Engineering revolution, have triggered transformations in every industry - automotive, aerospace, chemicals and materials, electronics, healthcare, and manufacturing, to name a few. Concurrently, digital technologies are increasingly being used in colleges and universities in support of research and as an aid in engineering and applied science programs where laboratory experiments, design projects, and physical prototyping are being complemented by software-based experiential learning. The main breakthroughs have been in achieving an unprecedented level of usability, fidelity, and performance of these software tools via several key technological advances.
The first part of this presentation will provide an overview of the underpinnings of physics-based engineering simulation software, with special emphasis on High-Performance / Cloud Computing, and related advances in Numerical Methods, Machine Learning and software design and architecture. The second part of the talk will focus on applications in emerging areas while addressing the importance of modeling and simulation in academic research and education. The importance of Computer Based Modelling and Simulation, accelerated by High Performance Computing, on concept evaluation, detailed component and process design, research and engineering education will be emphasized.
