Design of Experiment

Design of Experiments and Data Sampling

As design cycles tighten and engineering challenges become more complex, companies must fully leverage their simulation and testing capabilities to remain competitive. Busy engineers are faced with the daunting task of collecting sufficient data to accurately represent the observed system, while controlling costs by minimizing the number of data samples required.
decision-making

Decision Making under Uncertainty

As the world has entered uncertain times, companies and organizations must continue to reevaluate and adapt their decision-making processes to the ever-changing environment. Decisionmakers must accept that every decision made has some level of uncertainty – some greater than others.
Pharmaceutical Industry

Uncertainty Quantification for Simulation and Modeling in the Pharmaceutical Industry

This whitepaper will focus on two simulation challenges, the computational cost of simulation and the need to perform calibration / validation of the model. Then the whitepaper will discuss strategies to alleviate them by leveraging SmartUQ’s predictive analytics and Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) toolset.
Sensitivity Analytics

Sensitivity Analysis for Engineering Simulation

Many engineering simulations contain multiple inputs, making it critical for the engineer to identify the importance of each input to the overall model. This issue can be addressed by using Sensitivity Analysis (SA).
Engineering Analytics

SmartUQ: Pushing the Boundaries of Engineering Analytics

As simulation, monitoring, and testing techniques become more sophisticated and produce increasing quantities of data, the need for a powerful engineering analytics tool to accurately and efficiently extract information and insights from the data has never been greater.
Statistical Calibration

Statistical Calibration: Grounding Simulations in Reality

Unlike traditional calibration, SmartUQ’s statistical calibration considers the discrepancy between the simulation and physical results which reduces bias and increases the model’s accuracy.
Additive Manufacturing

Uncertainty Quantification in 3D Printing

Deemed the “Third Industrial Revolution”, 3D printing appears to have endless capabilities, but a key barrier prevents additive manufacturing from reaching its full potential: uncertainty.
Manufacturing Uncertainty

Quantifying Uncertainty for Manufacturing Variations

Manufacturing variations can be introduced from numerous sources such as imprecise equipment, varied raw material properties, and heat treatment processes. Variations lead to uncertain performance and may result in compromised parts or decreased service life.
Statistical Methods

How Statistical Methods Can Help You Get More Out of Your Simulation Tools

This paper focuses on solutions to three major challenges in the CAE design processes and how statistical methods are a powerful and viable approach to meet these challenges.
Lightweighting Bracket

SmartUQ Engineering Analytics Light-Weighting Application with COMSOL FEA Bracket Example

This paper documents an application of SmartUQ’s engineering analytics capabilities to a mounting bracket subject to fatigue testing.
