CEE C.C. Mei Distinguished Speaker Series- Dr. David Hibbitt - Evolution of an Engineering Simulation Software Venture
Monday, April 29, 2019 at 5:00pm to 6:00pm
1-190
Abstract:
Engineering simulation based on computational mechanics has developed from pioneering work at Boeing into a thriving, high-tech activity. Dr. Hibbitt will visit on Monday, April 29 to talk about the development of ABAQUS (now Simulia), a company that competes in this market segment, and its technology.
Biography:
Dr. Hibbitt received his B.A. in Mechanical Sciences from Cambridge University in England, and his PhD in engineering mechanics from Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, his thesis topic being the simulation of multi-pass welding using the finite element method. He founded ABAQUS in 1978, and was the company’s CEO and chairman until its acquisition in 2005 by Dassault Sys-tèmes, a company with broad offerings in the engineering design and simulation software market. As the Simulia division of Dassault Systèmes the company continues investment in an increasingly broad range of computational mechanics software offerings. Dr. Hibbitt is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, received the American Society of Mechanical Engineer’s Applied Mechanics Award for 1993, and a Brown University Engineering Alumni Medal in 1997. Now retired, he is a trustee of the Community Preparatory School in Providence, Rhode Island, and of the Marine Biology Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. He also serves on the International Visiting Committee for the Department of Engineering of Cambridge University, the Advisory Council for the School of Engineering of Brown University, and on the Academics and Research Council (Conseil d’enseignement et de recherche) of the École Polytechnique in France.
