Modal Analysis in Virtual Prototyping and Product Validation

Modal Analysis - Theory, Experiments and Applications in New Product Development. Whether it is automotive industry or aerospace industry, there is a certain Moore's Law that accelerates the rate of launch of new products. The product designers are under increasing pressure to launch the best quality products faster and under strict budgets. In the automotive, aerospace and many other industries, new products are developed and tested to meet the harsh real world load conditions. These products are subjected to dynamic loading conditions while in service.

It is a well known fact that simulation and Experimental testing go hand in hand in the development of new products. Simulation or virtual prototyping can provide significant cost and time savings if used correctly. At the same time, experimentation cannot be completely eliminated. Modal Analysis is one of the tools a designer uses to develop and analyze new product designs. Modal analysis can be performed both through simulation and experimentation. There are various aspects of Modal Analysis one needs to understand to use the tool effectively to design new products.

Importance of workshop for the organisations using FEM

• The tutorials will be handled by experienced industry exposed users of FEM.
• This workshop will offer vital guidance to judge which approximations are acceptable for solving the practical problems
• Learn the easiest way of reducing product development cycle by an incredible extent validating the product design during its inception stages.
• This workshop helps in confirming your FEA modals so as to gain confidence in them.
• Identifying the failure modes in the prototype quickly.
• The methods of verifying and validating the FEM results will be demonstrated with real world case studies.
• The globally recognised NAFEMS benchmark standards for FEM will be explained.
• Each participant will be provided with high quality training notes.

Who Should Attend?

Enterprising Engineers, Researchers, Product Development Managers Quality Assurance Engineers, Maintenance Engineers in the fields of Automobile, Aerospace, Marine, and Off-Highway equipment who are desirous of reducing time in product development cycle, validate the Modal design and ensure quality assurance and reliability with an aim to increase the productivity.

Faculty members from Engineering Colleges interested in learning more about tools which will assist them in research and teaching in vibration, selection of sensors, data acquisition.

The material that is presented is independent of any particular software package, making it ideally suited to current and potential users of all commercial finite element software systems. The workshop is open to both members and nonmembers of NAFEMS.
