The technical activities of NAFEMS are directed by the Technical Liaison Group (TLG). The TLG currently consists of the chairmen of the Technical Working Groups.

During 2005-2006, the TLG has been focusing on two primary activities:

a) Managing and co-ordinating the pipeline of membership deliverables currently being developed by the different Technical Working Groups. During 2005, the Non Linear and New Technology Working Groups merged to form the Computational Structural Mechanics group.

b) Developing an initial version of an all-embracing Technical Strategy Plan for NAFEMS. Once completed, this will become a live document, which all members will be encouraged to comment upon and which can be updated frequently. At the present time, considerable effort is being made to ensure that this Technical Strategy Plan includes all the priority issues identified by the FENet project in order to guarantee continuity of the momentum which has been built up during this important initiative.
