Musculoskeletal simulations can be used to estimate biomechanical variables based on non-invasive experimental motion measurement data. Due to measurement errors, model assumptions or the used computation method, there is a gap between reality (experimental measurements) and the simulations, the sim...

Jonathan-Markus Einwag joined the Digital Engineering research group as a research assistant at the beginning of April. He previously studied mechanical engineering at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. He also wrote his master's thesis on the development of a process simulation chai...

On 18 June 2024, Prof. Sandro Wartzack was a guest as a representative of the universities in the live talk of the Blueprint episode "AI in Digital Engineering - Ready for the Revolution?" The advantages and challenges of using AI in digital engineering were discussed: accelerated development cycles...

This semester, CAD education in programs such as Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechatronics, Electromobility, and Artificial Intelligence is conducted using the Siemens NX CAD system. Under the direction of the Chair of Engineering Design (Prof. Sandro Wartzack), students acquire C...

This year's NAFEMS D-A-CH conference took place between June 10-12 in Bamberg. Over 100 expert presentations on topics such as FEM, CFD, MKS, SDM etc. were given by industry representatives and universities from all over Europe. In addition, various workshops and discussion rounds were offered, in w...

The virtual design of clinch joints is usually based on the assumption of ideal boundary conditions that do not fully reflect reality. As a result, a reliable realistic prediction of the clinch joint properties has not yet been possible. The latest KTmfk publication therefore presents a meta-model-b...

Computer-aided investigation methods, such as finite element analysis (FEA) and musculoskeletal multi-body simulation (MBS), are important in musculoskeletal biomechanics because they enable a better understanding of the mechanics of the musculoskeletal system as well as the development and evaluati...
