Develop a Tool for Democratising Knowledge within Small and Medium Enterprises in Simulations

Given the growing importance of simulation in engineering and its increasing adoption by SMEs, it's crucial to find ways for these smaller enterprises to use simulation tools efficiently, despite having fewer experts than larger organizations. After reviewing literature on how knowledge-based engineering can involve non-expert users and examining simulation workflows. A system has been proposed that will allow non users to conduct certain FEA analysis. This system enables non-expert users to adjust parameters within templates created by a simulation expert. It was found that the system could produce results that were very similar to the results of the expert users initial analysis.

Abstract

Given the growing importance of simulation in engineering and its increasing adoption by SMEs, it's crucial to find ways for these smaller enterprises to use simulation tools efficiently, despite having fewer experts than larger organizations. After reviewing literature on how knowledge-based engineering can involve non-expert users and examining simulation workflows. A system has been proposed that will allow non users to conduct certain FEA analysis. This system enables non-expert users to adjust parameters within templates created by a simulation expert. It was found that the system could produce results that were very similar to the results of the expert users initial analysis.
