Pathway to Future CAE Technologies and their Role in Ambient Intelligent Environments

NAFEMS Webinar Series

Dramatic improvements are on the horizon in CAE and simulation technologies. The improvements are due to, in part, to the development in a number of leading-edge technologies and their synergistic combinations / convergence. The technologies include ubiquitous, cloud, and petascale computing, ultra high-bandwidth networks, pervasive wireless communication, knowledge-based engineering, networked immersive virtual environments, and powerful game engines and facilities.

The presentation will describe the frontiers, and the future, of CAE and simulation technologies and their role in virtual product creation and learning environments. The environments will be ambient intelligent environments, incorporating a synergistic combination of novel agent-supported visual simulation, CAE, CAx, management tools and facilities (with cognitive learning and understanding abilities); nontraditional methods; Massively multiplayer online role-playing game(MMORPG) tools; immersive displays; and multimodal, human-like interfaces.

The facilities in the learning environment will provide timely, engaging, personalized and tailored visual learning. The virtual product creation environment will significantly enhance the productivity and stimulate creativity and innovation in future global virtual collaborative enterprises.
