Comet Solutions, Inc. announces that Chief Technology Officer, Malcolm Panthaki, will be a featured presenter at the “Democratising CAE” Simulation Process & Data Management (SPDM) Workshop at the upcoming NAFEMS World Congress (June 21-24, San Diego, CA). Mr. Panthaki’s presentation is titled: Making the Full Power of Simulation Available to Everyone – At the Confluence of Solution-Specific Web Apps, “Lights-Out” Automation, Design Optimization, and “Infinite, Elastic Computing” on the Cloud.
Solution-specific Simulation Applications (SimApps) are targeted, easy-to-use applications that drive complex simulation templates, and speak the language of the user/engineer. SimApps allow product designers and engineers, without expertise in the use of simulation tools, to safely and quickly evaluate their designs using complex simulations.
NAFEMS workshop attendees will learn how Comet’s manufacturing customers such as Intel, American Axle Manufacturing (AAM), and Magna Cosma, are employing SimApps to extend the use of simulation beyond a small number of CAE experts. These manufacturers and others featured in the workshop, such as GKN, are leveraging simulation applications to globally enforce expert best practices while measurably increasing the impact of CAE investments on their business.
The confluence of simulation methodologies, software, automation templates, and accessible computing hardware, aided by the advent of mobile devices with ubiquitous high-bandwidth access to the Internet, has the potential to magnify the number of users of simulation by an order of magnitude, over the next decade.
“Simulation has been the exclusive domain of too few for too long,” explained Panthaki. “It’s time to put to rest the notion that simulation cannot be safely used unless you have deep expertise in the art of extracting reasonable results from today’s simulation software. Comet SimApps deliver the full power of simulation to everyone who needs it, from a salesman who needs to understand the feasibility and cost of a design that meets customer requirements, to a systems engineer who wishes to accurately compare the relative tradeoffs of various architectures, to design engineers who need accurate and rapid assessments of the change in performance of a design variation, to a junior engineer who is still learning the intricacies of CAE codes.”
