Invitation

Simulation-driven engineering marks a big step towards virtualization of the development of real-world designs, devices, and processes. As our real world is multiphysical in nature, it is natural to see multiphysics CAE-based simulations as a key enabler for simulation-driven engineering. Products are getting increasingly complex, hence industry is constantly faced with new challenges to efficiently develop successful products. Success is not defined by meeting functional requirements alone, but also extends to meeting tighter regulations, faster time-to-market and budgetary expectations, as well as meeting customer expectations for better products.

Realistic multiphysics simulations that predict accurate product properties before a physical prototype is built are key to fulfilling these requirements. As a result, more and more physical disciplines are covered within the context of multiphysics simulations and nowadays utilization is widespread.

While this conference aims to cover the full breadth of multiphysics, we would like to highlight some application classes treated as emerging and future trends that will be discussed within this conference.

• In collaboration with the NAFEMS Multibody Dynamics Working Group we organized a session focusing on Multiphysics simulations coupling with Multibody Dynamics in the afternoon of 15 November. Attendees of both conferences, the Multiphysics and the consecutive Multibody Dynamics Conference, are equally entitled to attend this session. Special offers are available if you want to attend both conferences.

• In collaboration with the NAFEMS Computational Electromagnetics Working Group we organized sessions focusing on Multiphysics simulations coupling with computational electromagnetic simulations.

The conference brings together researchers, developers, teachers, and users of multiphysics simulation methods to present new results, exchange ideas and discuss potential challenges.

It is an excellent opportunity to connect with other practitioners in the field of multiphysics and coupled simulations. It is jointly organized by NAFEMS Multiphysics Working Group, The International Society of Multiphysics, and the Fraunhofer Institute for Algorithms and Scientific ­Computing SCAI.

Participation is open to NAFEMS members and non-members. NAFEMS members can participate free of charge as part of their membership using seminar credits.

We look very much forward to welcoming you in Munich.
