SAWE Virtual Technical Forum 13 Meeting Recording 2024-08-23

Description

August 23, 2024 @ Noon EDT

Facilitated by: Amanda Cutright, SAWE VP – Technical

The SAWE is proud to present our 13th Virtual Forum, a speaker and audience participation venue provided to inform and debate important issues in mass properties engineering. This forum’s topic is “Pathways in Mass Properties Engineering Digitalization.” The forum will be conducted by our VP-Technical – Ms. Amanda Cutright (NASA Langley representative to the Agency’s Digital Engineering Leadership Team).

Our first speaker will be Mr. Rupert Wilmot-Dunbar from Capgemini corporation; leaders in integrating data technology into corporate engineering practices. We will follow up this discussion with an introduction to an evolving SAWE initiative to be led by Mr. Mark Beyer of Beyer Flight Sciences, which aims to create some digital harmony standardization across all of our SAWE product sectors and product development life cycle stages.

The Forum will be via TEAMS and will run for an hour and a half commencing on Friday, August 23rd at 12:00 EDT.

Capgemini’s digital transformation insights were highlighted at our recent May international meeting during the Wednesday morning forum. We will get a more complete understanding of what it means for companies, and their engineers, to embrace digital continuity in integrated design environments. Capgemini has shown how multi-data models are utilized in this evolving digital world and forum attendees will get the chance to query how Mass Properties might fit into these types of modern engineering collaborative practices.

Following Mr. Wilmot-Dunbar, Mr. Mark Beyer will introduce a SAWE initiative aligned with this forum’s topic. Mark has planned an approach that will require participation from our members and the companies they work for to build common digital definitions and procedures which cover all of our member activities in Mass Properties Engineering. Data models, use cases, and documentation needs are some of what is to be fleshed out within this SAWE year. This team will develop a shared vision and digital transformation roadmap. If this work piques your interest, I’m sure Mark will want to hear from you.

Questions will be permitted during the presentations, and upon completion the floor will be open for general discussion.
