The unspoken hero – Why Engineering Reports matter in the world of simulation
This presentation highlights a critical yet often overlooked aspect of FEA Simulation Engineering: the Engineering Report.
Dr. George Laird, Founder of Applied CAx, shares a practical, no-nonsense strategy for streamlining the documentation process. He demonstrates how to prioritize documentation needs, ranging from essential “must-haves” to optional “nice-to-haves.”
Throughout the session, Dr. Laird also emphasizes the importance of understanding the technology underpinning FEA methods, covering topics like isoparametric elements, the differences between CQUAD and CQUADR, and evaluating element quality.
This presentation was initially presented at our Regional User Club event in January 2024.
