NAFEMS

The National Agency for Finite Element Methods and Standards (NAFEMS) is a UK based, independent, not-for-profit simulation standards association founded in 1981. Any company, institution or person can join its current membership of 700 companies worldwide. NAFEMS was founded because engineers are increasingly relying on computer modeling and simulation methods and tools as vital components of the product development process. As these methods develop at an ever-increasing pace, the need for an independent, international authority on the use of this technology has brought about the formation of NAFEMS. Originally focused on structural analysis and stress modeling, NAFEMS formed a CFD division several years ago to cater for the fastest growing segment of the CAE market.

Companies today from numerous industries are already investing heavily in engineering technologies such as FEA and CFD. But how do they ensure they get the best ROI? How do they develop and enhance their capabilities? How do they know they are using the technology in the most effective way? NAFEMS is uniquely placed to help answer these questions.

NAFEMS members range from major corporations such as Boeing through mid-sized organizations such as Harley-Davidson, to small-scale engineering consultants. If you work with simulation, NAFEMS should help you leverage your investment better.
