President of Ora Research, Bruce Jenkins to present NAFEMS webinar on design space exploration on January 30th
GLASGOW, UK, JANUARY 17TH 2013 – NAFEMS, the international association for the engineering analysis community, with host free webinar presented by Bruce Jenkins (President of Ora Research) entitled ‘Design Space Exploration: Opportunities, Challenges and Best Practices for Engineering and Discrete Manufacturing Organizations’ on January 30th.
The most successful engineering projects begin with discovery – conceiving a rich array of ideas to solve a problem or address a need. But the power of such discovery is too often sacrificed to schedule pressures and resource constraints. Add to these the tool-set barriers and hamstrung work processes that make it a struggle for discipline experts to look beyond their own silos and work more collaboratively as a team – to achieve the critical but elusive goal of gaining a system-level understanding of the project and their role in it, then acting on it.
The result is familiar: engineering teams find themselves forced to settle on a design concept without high confidence that it’s the best, most cost-effective or most robust choice.
An emerging solution to this quandary is design space exploration (DSE), both a category of methods and a new generation of software tools that are beginning to radically advance the capabilities of engineers and multidisciplinary engineering teams to discover an array of possible design concepts early; rapidly and fluently evaluate trade-offs, variants and sensitivities; then select the best and move to implement them.
While many of the methods that underpin DSE have been long known – and sometimes applied, in cases where the attendant costs in time, expertise and labour could be justified – what’s changing now is the way fresh software technologies are at last converting these powerful but formerly difficult-to-use methods into practical everyday engineering aids.
This webinar will:
- Examine the compelling business drivers for DSE’s adoption in defence, automotive, aircraft, space systems and other industries
- Look at what business and engineering successes the technology has helped leading adopters achieve to date
- Survey the powerful engineering methods behind those successes, which these new technologies are finally making it practical and cost-effective to apply
- Identify key solution providers
- Present a market model to help decision-makers discern and select among the choices available in today’s commercial solution/provider ecosystem
