6 NAFEMS Events We host over 60 independent events every year focused on the issues and trends in engineering simulation World Congress NAFEMS World Congress is a biennial global conference which has been a fixture on the simulation calendar for 30 years. Bringing together the international community in a neutral forum the last Congress in Stockholm attracted over 600 attendees including industrial users, software vendors and academics. Conferences Throughout the year, NAFEMS holds a number of conferences including dedicated regional and specific events across the globe. Seminars Several seminars are hosted every year focusing on current areas of interest as well as emerging topic areas. Webinars Online webinars take place frequently allowing members to attend our events, no matter where in the world they are. NAFEMS members benefit from seminar credits enabling many events to be attended inclusive of membership. Members also receive significant discounts on our World Congress and Training. 6

7 NAFEMS Publications NAFEMS has published over 200 analysis and simulation publications. We are widely acknowledged as the premier source for analysis and simulation information. Every year we produce approximately 8-10 new publications including textbooks, reports, benchmarks and journals. NAFEMS members receive a library of their chosen publications when they join. Discounts are also available on additional publications. In addition, members receive copies of all new publications as and when they are produced. 7

17 PSE Competencies A New Standard PSE (Professional Simulation Engineer) competencies define the competencies that good simulation engineers should possess. Incorporating thousands of individual competency statements across 26 technical areas Peer-reviewed over several years by NAFEMS technical working groups and external experts as part of EASIT 2 project These competencies are the foundation for the PSE Competency Tracker and PSE Certification.

18 The Basics 26 Technical Areas Core Finite Element Analysis Core Computational Fluid Dynamics Mechanics, Elasticity & Strength of Materials Materials for Analysis & Simulation Fatigue Flaw Assessment & Fracture Mechanics Nonlinear Geometric Effects & Contact Beams, Membranes, Plates & Shells Dynamics & Vibration Fundamentals of Flow, Mass & Heat Transfer Thermo-Mechanical Behaviour PLM Integration & CAD-CAE Collaboration Simulation Process & Data Management Buckling & Instability Multi-physics Analysis Composite Materials & Structures Creep and Time-Dependency Multi-Scale Analysis Probabilistic Analysis Noise, Acoustics & Vibro-Acoustics Electromagnetics Multi-body Dynamics General Analysis Management Verification & Validation Optimisation Plasticity 18

19 The Basics Competence Statements Core Finite Element Analysis Define the meaning of a degree of freedom Sketch problems showing various forms of symmetry Discuss checks that may be used post-solution to check for the presence of inaccuracy Plasticity Explain the terms isotropic hardening, kinematic hardening and rate independency Sketch a stress-strain curve for an elastic-perfectly plastic and bi-linear hardening material. Nonlinear Geometry and Contact Contrast the Newton-Raphson method and the Riks arc-length method Discuss the limitations of contact algorithms available in a finite element system 19
