Does your company use modelling and simulation tools such as Finite Element Analysis and Computational Fluid Dynamics? Are you one of the many engineers or managers seeking answers to questions such as:

• What is the latest state-of-the-art?
• To what extent has its use been proven?
• What are the current best practices for our industry?
• What pitfalls should we be aware of?
• What level of investment can we justify?
• What is an appropriate combination of physical testing and virtual prototyping?
• How can we use design codes to interpret our analysis results?
• Should we revise our design and development process to accommodate new simulation technologies?
• How can we shorten our development cycle, and reduce time to market?

Members of NAFEMS who face these and other issues are already getting outstanding benefits from active engagement with the organisation. NAFEMS is the only worldwide independent association dedicated to the specialised area of simulation methods.

In order to produce technical reports, textbooks and to provide resources for the engineering analysis community NAFEMS is organised as a not for profit membership association. By subscribing to corporate membership organisations achieve significant leverage on the membership fee with as many as ten free reports each year, a comprehensive membership pack and significantly reduced seminar and training fees.

"Often NAFEMS is the only available source of detailed technical information relating to analysis. If we had to attempt to generate this information ourselves, the costs would be significantly greater than the annual membership fee."

Norman Lindsey, Hewlett Packard.

"The widespread acceptance and use of CAE software, including MSC's simulation products, depends significantly on the infrastructure support NAFEMS uniquely provides. We have been members for 15 years now because the benefit of NAFEMS analysis standards work, software benchmarks and other services far exceed the cost."

Ed Stanton, MSC Software.

"In the overall equation of training and software support costs, NAFEMS membership, at less than $4 a day, is a relatively small investment for the additional benefits of continuous professional development, unlimited access to industry expertise, and regular technical updates."

Dr Bernd Richter, Volkswagen AG.
