Returning and redistributing very large numbers of battle-hardened equipment is not only a significant logistical challenge, it poses significant engineering challenges as well.  Much of the equipment needs repair along with component and system-level upgrades.  All this must be completed in the context of the well-publicized fiscal challenges, which leaves program managers and engineering teams facing closely scrutinized cost, schedule and quality key performance indicators with constrained resources. To quote Colonel David Bassett, Army Program Manager for Tactical Vehicles from November's issue of National Defense Magazine, "Industry has learned that there is no silver bullet.  It's about smart engineering. We think the companies that understand that are going to be postured to compete effectively."

In this webinar we will introduce physics-based engineering simulation as a key enabler for smart engineering and through real-world examples demonstrate its impact on program cost, schedule and quality metrics. By leveraging the power of physics-based engineering simulation early in the process you will be able to re-engineer, reset and redistribute with confidence.

Presenter:

Robert Harwood, Ph.D. Aerospace and Defense Industry Director ANSYS, Inc.

Rob obtained his engineering PhD in 1998 from the University of Sheffield, one of the top 5 engineering schools in the UK. During and since that time Rob has focused on the industrial use of physics based simulation in a broad range of sectors including Environmental Engineering, Healthcare, Chemical Process, Energy, Aerospace and Defense. Rob has been with ANSYS for 12 years and has focused on the Aerospace and Defense sector since 2006.

Physics based simulation is evolving from being a tool used by engineering specialists to a capability that is strategically deployed throughout organizations and embedded in standard work processes. Different organizations are at different stages in this transition and Rob is focused on communicating and disseminating experiences and best practices that assist organizations maximize their return on investment in physics based simulation by thinking beyond just products to consider both processes and people.

Rob has worked directly with the leading US DOD laboratories, defense contractors and our allies around the globe. Rob is a frequently invited guest speaker at industry conferences and seminars and recent contributions include presentations and panel session participation at events as diverse as Logistics for RESET and Armed Unmanned Air Systems.
