EnginSoft USA Announces Sponsorship and Technical Presentation at NAFEMS Americas Conference 2026
Dr. Brant Ross to Present Multiphysics Simulation Methodology for Complex Reinforced Hose Systems
MCKINNEY, Texas – May 19, 2026 – EnginSoft USA, a leading provider of advanced Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) solutions and consulting services, is proud to announce its sponsorship of the NAFEMS Americas Conference 2026, taking place this year as one of the premier events dedicated to engineering simulation, analysis, and digital engineering best practices.
As part of the conference technical program, Dr. Brant Ross, Co-Founder of EnginSoft USA, will present a session titled: “Accurate Simulation of a Hose with a Complex Reinforcing Outer Layer.” The presentation will explore advanced nonlinear simulation techniques for highly flexible, contact-rich systems involving braided reinforcement structures and complex assembly behavior.
The NAFEMS Americas Conference brings together engineers, analysts, software developers, and industry leaders focused on advancing simulation-driven engineering across industries including automotive, aerospace, energy, manufacturing, and medical devices. The event serves as a leading forum for sharing best practices, emerging technologies, and real-world engineering applications.
Dr. Ross’s presentation addresses one of the more challenging areas of structural simulation: accurately modeling reinforced hoses and similar flexible products containing numerous interacting components, large deformations, and extensive contact interactions. The session will demonstrate practical strategies for balancing model fidelity and computational efficiency while maintaining correlation to real-world behavior.
Topics covered in the presentation include:
- Nonlinear simulation approaches for corrugated and reinforced hose systems
- Efficient modeling techniques for braided reinforcement structures
- Use of scripting to automate flexible body and contact definition
- Best practices for contact management and model simplification
- Simulation of manufacturing and assembly preload effects
- Methods for preserving assembled, prestressed states for repeated analysis workflows
“Modern engineering systems increasingly involve flexible components, large motions, and highly complex contact interactions,” said Brant Ross. “Accurate simulation of these systems requires more than simply building a detailed model, it requires multiphysics capabilities, thoughtful strategies for model preparation, simplification, scripting, and reproducing real assembly conditions. Our goal is to help engineers apply these methods to solve practical, real-world design challenges with greater confidence and efficiency.”
At the conference, EnginSoft USA will also highlight its broader portfolio of advanced simulation technologies and consulting capabilities, including:
- RecurDyn for flexible multibody dynamics and contact-rich mechanical systems
- Particleworks for meshless CFD and free-surface flow simulation
- Cadence Fidelity CFD for high-fidelity fluid dynamics simulation
- Flownex for system-level thermal-fluid modeling and controls integration
EnginSoft USA provides software, consulting, training, and custom workflow development to help organizations fully leverage simulation technologies across a wide range of industries and applications.
