Table Discussions

During one of the two Interactive Session slots of the day, you will have the opportunity to participate in our Round Table Discussions. These sessions are designed to facilitate engaging conversations with our team and industry colleagues, where we can explore and debate topics that will shape the future of your work. We value your input and hope these discussions will allow you to express your views on the topics that interest you the most.

Conference delegates will have the chance to join three table discussions out of the six available options, with each discussion lasting for 20 minutes. Choose from the following topics:

  • Sustainability in FEA
  • Data Management Challenges
  • Oasys future Developments
  • LS-DYNA Implicit – successes and challenges
  • Electrification and associated opportunities
  • IGA Landscape

Sustainability in FEA

At Arup, sustainability is at the forefront of everything we do as we strive to shape a better world. This commitment extends to the Oasys LS-DYNA software environment. We are actively exploring ways to make our software more sustainable and how we might support greener usage of it, to help users achieve their own sustainability goals. This round table discussion aims to share the ideas we are considering to support your sustainability goals and initiate a dialogue to understand your perspective on the role of simulation in creating a greener future.
Example questions to be discussed at his table:

  • When designing your data systems, do you take energy consumption into account, particularly in relation to data transfer?
  • Are you aware that software can be modified to reduce the strain on hardware, extend its lifespan, and minimizing both carbon and commercial costs? Would you appreciate our team investing in this area?
  • Are you aware that there are quantitative ways to benchmark software carbon impact? Would you value tools and support which will enable monitoring of the carbon impact of your software usage?

Data Management Challenges

Effective data management is crucial for maximizing the efficiency and value of your simulation workflows. We understand the complexities and challenges associated with data management in the context of LS-DYNA simulations. This round table discussion will provide an opportunity to explore various data management challenges that you may encounter and to exchange insights on best practices and innovative solutions.
Example questions to be discussed at this table:

  • How do you manage the volume of data you generate?
  • How do you post-process this data?
  • How do you manage the filing and archiving of results?
  • How would you like us to improve our products to help you with this?

Oasys future Developments

A forward-looking discussion on the future developments of the Oasys software suite. At Arup, we are committed to continuously enhancing our software to meet evolving industry needs and technological advancements. This round table session provides an opportunity for you to share your valuable insights and contribute to shaping the future direction of Oasys software.

Example questions to be discussed at this table:

  • What features or functionalities would you like to see incorporated to better support your simulation workflows?
  • Are there any specific industry trends or emerging technologies that you believe Oasys should align with or leverage in its future development?

LS-DYNA Implicit – successes and challenges

This round table session aims to gather insights from participants regarding their experiences with the LS-DYNA Implicit solver. We are interested in understanding the various applications users have explored, the achievements they have made, and the specific challenges they have encountered. We are pleased to announce that Yun Huang, an expert from ANSYS, will be joining this table to share valuable insights and expertise.
Example questions to be discussed at this table:

  • What types of problems or simulations have you successfully tackled using the LS-DYNA Implicit solver?
  • Have you encountered any specific challenges or limitations when working with the Implicit solver?
  • Are there any best practices or strategies you have implemented to maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of the Implicit solver?
  • What types of problems or simulations might you consider tackling using the LS-DYNA Implicit solver in future, and what are the obstacles that have so far prevented you from doing so?

Electrification and associated opportunities

We aim to explore the challenges and opportunities that arise in simulation as the industry transitions towards electrification. This includes identifying new load cases, understanding the potential for code developments, and addressing the unique requirements that may not be present in traditional industries.
Example questions to be discussed at this table:

  • How do you foresee simulation challenges evolving as the industry moves towards electrification?
  • How does Oasys and LS-DYNA fit in terms of suitability for the range of analyses to be considered?
  • What are the new load cases and scenarios that need to be considered in simulating electrified systems?
  • Are there any specific opportunities or areas where code development is needed to meet the requirements of electrification?

IGA Landscape

This round table session focuses on Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) and aims to gather insights from participants regarding their adoption and experiences with this approach. We are interested in understanding the level of adoption, plans to research/implement, the challenges encountered, and the overall perception of IGA as a ready-to-use method. Additionally, we would like to discuss the support provided by Oasys in relation to IGA. At this table we will give a brief overview of IGA at the start for those not familiar.
Example questions to be discussed at this table:

  • Have you explored or adopted Isogeometric Analysis in your work? If so, what prompted your adoption and what benefits have you observed?
  • If you have not looked at IGA yet, do you plan to and what are the blockers?
  • What challenges have you encountered if implementing IGA, and how have you addressed them?
  • From your perspective, is IGA considered a mature and ready-to-use method in the industry?
  • How can Oasys supported you in implementing and utilising IGA in your simulations?
