NAFEMS SPDM and Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in CAE Applications Conferences 2026
October 27, PDT - October 29, PDT
The NAFEMS SPDM and Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in CAE Applications Conferences 2026 bring together engineering simulation professionals to explore how robust simulation data management and emerging AI/ML techniques can work together to improve engineering decision-making. Held in Munich from 27–29 October 2026, the event combines plenary keynotes, technical presentations, and an interactive exhibition focused on practical developments across the simulation lifecycle. Topics include the digital thread, simulation data management fundamentals, PLM integration, simulation quality assurance, surrogate modelling, physics-informed neural networks, reduced-order modelling, and generative design. By connecting the data architecture of SPDM with the predictive capabilities of AI and ML, the conference offers a holistic view of the data-to-decision journey and a valuable forum for learning, sharing best practices, and understanding what works, what is new, and what can be trusted in modern CAE applications.
