This webinar explores the possibilities of the use of modeFRONTIER and DEP MeshWorks to accelerate the design process in the biomedical field. Medical devices community needs to adopt faster go-to-market strategies to go from conceptual design to market deployment. Virtual engineering and virtual testing become one of the key factors that enable this speed of development. Engineering simulation enables design, development, and analysis of these complex medical devices with great accuracy. Mathematical techniques such as numerical optimization and machine learning further enhance the design process by allowing the identification of robust and optimal solutions in a short time. ESTECO North America and Detroit Engineered Products (DEP), specialized in model parameterization, explain the value of optimization and response surface modeling in simulation-based medical device development.

This webinar explains how modeFRONTIER was used to drive CONVERGE in the optimization of a Urea/SCR flapper-type mixer. Meeting NOx (NO + NO2) emissions regulations with aftertreatment system designs that are both effective and economical is critical to successful product performance. The favored approach to satisfying NOx emissions regulations in heavy- and light-duty diesel vehicles is to use a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) device where ammonia catalyzes to reduce NOx. Current industry trends are moving to more compact integrated Urea/SCR systems, which increases the need for an optimum mixer design that may be difficult to achieve with traditional design approaches. ESTECO and Convergent Science during the webinar demonstrate how combining fast and accurate CFD simulation with effective multi-objective optimization of the geometry has the potential to substantially improve the mixer designs and produce high levels of NOx reduction without a substantial backpressure penalty.

This webinar presents an overview of the EXPEDITE Program and the role ESTECO technology will play in order to advance Multi-disciplinary Analysis and Design Optimization (MADO). In 2017 Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Advanced Development Programs (ADP - The Skunk Works) was the winner of the US Air Force Research Laboratories (AFRL) Multi-Disciplinary Science and Technology Center EXPEDITE program. EXPEDITE (EXPanded MDO for Effectiveness Based DesIgn TEchnologies) is a successful program by AFRL seeking to advance the state-of-the-art of Multi-disciplinary Analysis and Design Optimization (MADO) as applied to US Air Force programs. For EXPEDITE the primary thrusts for the program include path and state-dependent design to capture discipline transients, HPC and higher fidelity physics to support Uncertainty Quantification (UQ), and expanding conceptual design down through Operational Analysis to support Effectiveness Based Design. Watch the webinar to learn more about EXPEDITE program, ESTECO’s role in achieving the AFRL objectives, and progress to date (July 2018).

This seminar focus on how metamodelling techniques speed up the search for promising designs by replacing computationally expensive design evaluations or simulations. In 2018, ESTECO joined this NAFEMS Web Seminar talking about how metamodelling techniques provide a global model of some design response, which can then be optimized efficiently. As, in the context of digital transformation, simulation is expected to spread all over the product lifecycle, metamodelling techniques too will be requested to adapt to different types of data and to exploit different types of predictive capabilities.
