NAFEMS Americas and Digital Engineering (DE) teamed up (once again) to present CAASE, the (now Virtual) Conference on Advancing Analysis & Simulation in Engineering, on June 16-18, 2020!

CAASE20 brought together the leading visionaries, developers, and practitioners of CAE-related technologies in an open forum, unlike any other, to share experiences, discuss relevant trends, discover common themes, and explore future issues, including:
-What is the future for engineering analysis and simulation?
-Where will it lead us in the next decade?
-How can designers and engineers realize its full potential?
What are the business, technological, and human enablers that will take past successful developments to new levels in the next ten years?

Resource Abstract

Simulation data is becoming more and more imperative to decision making in the design and engineering world. How will industries keep up with the ever-changing technologies to integrate simulation data into advanced visualization technologies like Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and other advanced platforms? How can simulation engineers answer the question, “How do we utilize AR technology in the most effective way to connect people to simulation solutions and make more informed engineering-based decisions?”

Come learn how a team of simulation engineers worked to integrate physics-based simulation data into an AR application utilizing a game engine platform called Unity, a computer animation package called 3dsMax, finite element analysis software packages like COMSOL, and other simulation software packages. The simulation focused on computation fluid dynamics simulations with the goal of integrating stress and strain simulation solutions into game engine platforms, as well.

Discover current industry trends for decision making based on simulations including learning about the simulation department at Honeywell and the growth of the influence of simulation solutions throughout the business.

Recognize the importance of verification and validation (V&V) in simulation data and how to integrate V&V and keep the integrity of V&V within advanced visualization technologies for showcasing simulation data.

Learn about a workflow for using simulation data in animation and game engine platforms like Unity and 3ds Max. Then, learn how the team loaded computational fluid dynamics simulation data onto an Augmented Reality head mounted display.

Learn how to create your own simulation story through a similar advanced visualization workflow in order to influence your own business and make more informed physics based decisions.

Finally, participate in a discussion to understand the best use case is for integrating simulation data into Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality applications and determine the right visualization tool for the right simulation analysis.
