Predicting the Future of Engineering Simulation

Tim Morris

Chief Executive of NAFEMS

CAE has already established itself as an outstanding success story within the world of engineering.
Its positive impact upon a whole range of industries is now well known and routinely accepted by business leaders.

This is dramatically increasing the demand for its widespread usage.

The need to satisfy this increased demand results in several challenges and different branches of the CAE industry are proposing a variety of ways to meet these challenges, such as “democratization of CAE”, or increasing the productivity of experts through the extensive deployment of SPDM. The presentation will explore these and other strategies, and present the latest research from NAFEMS in to the current usage of CAE and its future trends.
