NWC25 Topic Guide

If your abstract is related to engineering simulation, modelling, and analysis, we'll consider it. In fact, if you've found your way to the NAFEMS website, the chance are your topic will be relevant.

The headline areas we'll be looking at this time include:

Upfront Simulation

System-level Simulation

Physics-based Simulation

Model Credibility

Engineering Data Science

AI & Machine Learning in Simulation

Simulation Supporting Certification

Simulation Data Management

CAE in the design process

The Role of Simulation in Sustainability

Integration of Simulation and Test

Emerging Methods

We'll cover all industries, research, and education areas, all methods (e.g. optimisation, stochastics, fatigue etc), all strategies (e.g. digital twins, standards, simulation governance), and much much more.
