This session aims to give participants an overview of modern simulation practices for composites engineering and the breadth of insight it can yield across the product lifecycle. Simulation allows many more candidate designs to be considered than would be possible through manufacturing test samples, providing significantly more information about a process. The talk will cover techniques and methodologies as well as some practical examples of applying these. Participants will come out with a deeper understanding of composites simulation, where to begin for those who are new to simulation and some advanced methods for those who are already heavy users.
- Understanding the role of simulation in modern composites engineering
- How simulation can be used to improve performance throughout the lifecycle of a component
- Using simulation to understand the impact of process uncertainty, such as raw material variability and machine variation
- How to undertake digital prototyping to accelerate the design process and give confidence in manufacturing processes
- Practical example of applying these tools and techniques to real cases

- Workshop
Unlike other easily replicable processes, tube deformation is a complex manufacturing process requiring continuous research, material knowledge, and understanding of mechanical reactions. This workshop will delve into a compelling case study showcasing a production line's endeavour to achieve fully automated manufacturing of an aluminium tube component (entailing high productivity and tight tolerances), starting from raw material processing, including accessories insertion, marking, and quality inspection.
- Complexity Mastery: - understand nuances in tube deformation
- Automation Advancement - explore achieving high productivity with tight tolerances
- Material Insight - learn the significance of continuous research and material knowledge
- Case Study Spotlight - analyse a journey towards fully automated production

- Workshop
In this dynamic and empowering session on executing through high performance, participants will gain insights into the common causes of team dysfunction and the strategies to overcome them. Through exploring of poor communication, lack of trust, and conflicting goals and priorities, attendees will grasp the root causes of team challenges and learn how to address them effectively. With a focus on the role of leadership, this talk will unpack the actions leaders can implement to foster a cohesive and high-performing team culture. Armed with practical tools and knowledge, attendees will leave equipped to cultivate a positive and productive team dynamic, driving success and achievement.
3 take aways:
- Practical tools to implement in each level of the 5Dysfncutsion model by Patrick Lencioni.
- In depth understanding of how to create an engaged and productive working environment
- Reflection on the type of environment you as a leader have created for your team
