Join the SIMCenter staff at the NAFEMS conference, November 14th, Troy, MI
SIMCenter Director & OSU Professor, Shawn Midlam-Mohler, will lead a panel discussion on how effectively the current curriculum prepares students for work in CAE and what changes are needed. This timely topic is not just applicable to CAE, but with current trends in additive manufacturing, AI, data analytics, IoT, etc., the landscape of engineering is evolving at a rapid pace and multiple stakeholders are examining what’s needed in today’s world.
Panelist will include: Kristina Kuwabara, Graduate student at The Ohio State University, MJ Yatsko, Hybrid Calibration Engineer at GM, Emily Nutwell, Research Specialist, SIMCenter at The Ohio State University
Dr. Neeharika Anantharaju, Technical Specialist, Advanced Vehicle Safety Engineering at FCA.
This conference will focus on how the automotive engineering community is now confronting the largest technology transformation since its inception. This includes the electrification of powertrains for more efficient consumption and cleaner emissions, the reinvention of the battery with fast wireless charging capabilities and finally the advent of a fully autonomous vehicle. Compounding to these technology changes, the automotive companies design verification process is moving away from a major reliance on physical testing to almost a full virtual simulation product verification process.
Hence, the challenges to the automotive engineers are enormous and require a significant increase in the upfront use of numerical simulation capabilities, methods and processes such they’re able to efficiently design, manufacture and deliver these very innovative technologies to the market in greater speeds than ever before. Topics presented & discussed at this conference will address various questions:
- What CAE techniques are being used to drive various powertrain electrification design alternatives (i.e., HEVs, PHEVs, EBVs)
- How can I democratize engineering analysis & simulation through automation, embedded intelligence and smart processes?
- How do I overcome technical challenges to enable faster & smoother transition from physical to virtual Design Validation testing?
- What are the latest simulation solutions/techniques applied to deliver current and future sustainability requirements (e.g., light weighting, alternative-propulsion, fuel economy, ultra-low emissions)?
- What are some pragmatic simulation case studies applicable to the design & development of level-4 & level-5 autonomous vehicles?
- What steps should I take when exploring the widening technology landscape (i.e., application of AI, generative-design, etc.)?
- How can I better leverage systems modeling & simulation to improve the safety, reliability, NVH and functional performance of next-generation vehicles?
