Simulation Data Management Community Meeting

Achieving Large Scale Detailed Component Level Structural Simulations

Tuesday 8 April 2025 | Online

08:00 (Los Angeles) | 11:00 (New York)
16:00 (London) | 17:00 (Berlin)

Structural simulation is evolving, and achieving both scale and detail is more critical than ever. This webinar explores how Boeing has advanced its finite element analysis (FEA) capabilities to balance high-fidelity modelling with efficient, scalable workflows. We’ll examine the shift from detailed to component-level models, how each approach impacts analysis, and the methodologies that enable large-scale simulations without compromising accuracy.

Through real-world insights, we’ll also look at the workflows shaping the future of simulation at Boeing, offering a glimpse into emerging strategies that enhance efficiency and innovation. Whether you're an engineer, analyst, or simulation professional, this session will provide valuable perspectives on pushing the boundaries of structural analysis.
