SAWE Virtual Forum #13: Collaboration and Mass Properties Engineering

April 19, 2024 - 11:00 am to 12:30 pm Eastern Time

Facilitated by:

Jeff Cerro, NASA Langley Vehicle Analysis Branch (Retired)

 

The SAWE is proud to present our 13th Virtual Forum, a panel and audience participation venue to inform and debate important issues in mass properties engineering.  This forum’s topic is Collaboration and Mass Properties Engineering. 

The topic will be introduced by coordinator Jeffrey Cerro (Retired) with 

Aerospace Sector panelist Amanda Cutright (NASA Langley representative to the Agency’s Digital Engineering Leadership Team) 
John Gallahorn (HII – Newport News Shipbuilding – Manager of Naval Architecture and Weight Engineering) 
Mark Beyer (Beyer Flight Sciences – Founder/President).  
SAWE began society discussions on the impacts of collaboration tools and processes at the 2017 Montreal International conference. Since that time the general aspects of engineering collaboration have evolved extensively and seen implementation.  We seek to determine how far Mass Properties Engineers have come in this venture and explore where we see emphasis needs to be placed in future activities.  Collaboration historically implies person to person, group to group interchange.  In our ever encompassing digital world it focuses on the needs for machine based interacting standards and procedures. What can we gain and what might we lose as this advancement unfolds? PDM/PLM/MBx/SysML/Digital Twins/Digital Thread/…  are some of the numerous acronyms and words we must understand to work in this environment. What training, standards, and processes do SAWE members need to define and utilize in the general activities of collaborative engineering?
