This joint ESRD/Rev-Sim webinar will explore Sim-Gov compliant Sim Apps for democratization of simulation.

On July 29, 2019 a joint webinar on the the importance of Simulation Governance in FEA-based Sim App development & deployment, titled “Democratization of Simulation Governance-Compliant Sim Apps”, was provided by ESRD’s Brent Lancaster and Rev-Sim‘s Malcolm Panthaki.

In this timely webinar, we discussed why it is essential that Sim Apps implement Numerical Simulation technologies which enable the practice of Simulation Governance in order for the vision of democratization of simulations to be realized, as well as why it is important for engineering managers to get on the Simulation Governance train sooner rather than later. Strategies were explored for democratizing engineering simulations via Sim Apps which are: 1) based on the latest Numerical Simulation technologies, 2) available in Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) form, and most importantly 3) Simulation Governance-compliant.

Live demos of ESRD’s CAE Handbook and Multi-Fastener Analysis Tool (MFAT) were provided in order to prove that COTS, FEA-based, Simulation Governance-compliant Sim Apps are not just “vaporwares” but plug-and-play software solutions!

WEBINAR SUMMARY

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]In this 45-minute webinar, hosted by the Altair Partner Alliance (APA), we will discuss how ESRD's CAE Handbook modernizes and streamlines the implementation of digital engineering handbooks for the standardization of corporate process workflows.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

WEBINAR HIGHLIGHTS

[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image="319" img_size="full" alignment="center"][vc_column_text]The CAE Handbook framework allows for the corporate standardization of many engineering computational simulations. This is done by allowing companies to build an electronic or digital handbook models that captures corporate intellectual property. This enables non-FEA experts to solve many basic simulations that historically have been simplified in the form of Microsoft Excel engineering computation spreadsheets, and internally developed engineering programs that are only fully understood by the engineers who develop them. CAE Handbook guarantees consistent results and provides an objective measure of the quality of the solution. Topics covered include:
  • CAE Handbook software overview
  • Live demo
  • Live audience Q&A

WEBINAR SUMMARY

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]When utilized by engineers without specialized training, simulation technologies (and Sim Apps) based on legacy FEA technologies struggle to deliver trustworthy solutions due to their inability to objectively measure & report solution quality, an essential requirement of Simulation Governance (Sim Gov). This uncertainty inhibits true democratization of engineering simulations. So what is needed? In this timely webinar, we will discuss why it is essential that Sim Apps implement Numerical Simulation technologies which enable the practice of Sim Gov in order for the vision of democratization of simulations to be realized, as well as why it is important for engineering managers to get on the Sim Gov train sooner rather than later.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

In late February 2021, ESRD’s CAE Handbook was officially added to the Altair Partner Alliance (APA). CAE Handbook provides an elegant and intuitive framework for deploying StressCheck-powered digital handbook solutions. Read the APA newsroom press release here, and learn more about CAE Handbook here.

ESRD’s CAE Handbook

From Gordon Lehman, ESRD’s Senior Account Manager:

Gordon Lehman, PE

CAE Handbook realizes powerful benefits in virtually any solid mechanics engineering simulation environment where ‘similar but different’ simulations are performed. Because no training is needed to browse, load, update, solve and generate engineering results from simulation apps, repetitive simulations can be offloaded from FEA experts to more junior, less experienced engineers. As well as boosting productivity, it supports much greater complexity and fewer simplifying assumptions than classical engineering handbooks.

CAE Handbook replaces StressCheck Professional on the APA.

CAE Handbook Webinar

To learn more about the features and benefits of CAE Handbook, attend the free APA-hosted webinar “Standardize Recurring Analysis and Process Workflows Using FEA-Based Simulation Apps” on March 18th, 2021 @ 10:00 am EST.

This 45-minute webinar will include a brief demonstration of CAE Handbook, and provide an overview of how CAE Handbook captures corporate knowledge and democratizes simulations for deployment to non-analysts.
