Overview:

Application of computer-based modeling and simulation tools is becoming commonplace in aerospace engineering, and component and process design. The aerospace supply-chain, from universities to OEMs, is developing and utilizing modeling and simulation tools to answer questions regarding materials and processes. New alloys are being developed and existing alloys are being optimized with the aid of modeling tools. Manufacturing methods are being developed and enhanced by means of employing simulation tools. Traditional trial-and-error methods of material and process design and optimization are being replaced with analytical methods that reduce development time and costs, and allow establishment of robust designs. As modeling and simulation tools advance and become commercially available, industry is rapidly integrating these new tools for tangible benefits. The presentations within this topic area will include development of modeling and simulation tools, examples of modeling and simulation applications, and examples of how modeling and simulation tools can support problem solving and design optimization activities.
