@Daresbury: How Can Simulation Improve Whole-Life Product Development?
A Journey from Concept Design to End-of-Life
You may already use FEA, CFD and statistical methods at discrete stages during design and development. However, are you benefiting from engineering analysis throughout your product life cycle? You are invited to a one-day seminar in Daresbury on 22nd March which focuses on how the latest simulation and reliability analysis technologies can transform your whole-life product performance and cost.

About Wilde
Since 1980, Wilde Analysis has specialised in FEA, CFD and Reliability Engineering Analysis – powerful technologies that complement and enhance traditional calculation, CAD and PLM software but not always completely understood or fully exploited by industry. As both an engineering consultancy and a value added reseller for leading international solutions, including ANSYS, Autodesk Moldflow, DEFORM and ReliaSoft, Wilde helps companies improve the way they design and manage their products and processes. This is achieved through the successful implementation of software and provision of consulting and training services.

Overview
You may already be using simulation and other mathematical methods at discrete stages during design and development. However, are you benefiting from engineering analysis throughout the product life cycle to:
- Drive innovation?
- Reduce lead time and development cost?
- Optimise performance?
- Design for manufacture?
- Measure, manage and improve reliability?
By attending this seminar you will learn how the latest simulation and reliability analysis technologies can transform whole life product performance and cost, concentrating on four themes:
1. Understand and Innovate
- Align with Needs of Customers (QFD)
- Design Out Failures (FMECA)
- Evaluate Concepts with Simulation (FEA, CFD)
2. Validate and Optimise
- Predict Life Characteristics (Weibull, Accelerated Testing & Fatigue Analysis)
- Model the System for Performance & Reliability (Multiphysics & Explicit Simulation, Fault Tree Analysis)
- Improve and Make Robust (Design of Experiments, Reliability Growth Analysis)
3. Design for Manufacture
- Control and Eliminate Manufacturing Problems (Metals and Plastic Process Modelling)
- Enhance Material Properties (Heat Treatment & Microstructural Prediction)
- Include Impact on Product Performance (Residual Stress & Defects)
4. Deploy to End of Life
- Monitor and Maintain Product Performance (FRACAS, RCM)
- Troubleshoot & Extend Operational Life
- Manage Whole Life Cost & Risk (Product Recall & Warranty Analysis)
Who Should Attend?
Designers, Engineers and Managers interested in learning how FEA, CFD and Reliability Engineering can help improve design & manufacturing processes and manage risk within product development.
