After more that 30 years, it is now time to bring my professional career in the world of commercial CFD to an end. After graduating from Stanford with a PhD in 1993, I started at Fluent Inc working in technical support on the Rampant team. Rampant was (arguably) the first commercial, fully unstructured finite volume CFD code. Customers in the automotive industry were quick to realize the advantages of a tetrahedral mesh. Unfortunately, the algorithms deployed at that stage posed considerable challenges in getting the software to work robustly for automotive workflows. The release of a cell-centered formulation of Fluent/UNS was much more competitive for a wide range of workflows in many industries including automotive. While this morphed into the modern Fluent first release as v5, I worked in various capacities such as consulting and team technical leadership, finally landing in software development with a focus on turbulence modeling. In 2000, I joined CD-adapco. This was a great opportunity to join some very smart people creating a new architecture that used "new-fangled" concepts such as object oriented programming in C++ and Java. My main development responsibilities were the segregated flow solver and all the turbulence models, but I am equally proud of my contributions to many other aspects of the software including its architecture. The success of Star-CCM+ in the market speaks for itself. By 2011, I preempted the significant changes I foresaw within the CD-adapco organization by joining the SIMULIA brand of Dassault Systemes. The experience of working for an already-large, but still rapidly-growing, CAE company was quite different to the small, growing entities I had worked for previously. Starting with the in-house development of a new finite volume code, my role shifted from code development to management. It was a privilege to eventually lead the entire Fluids R&D team in SIMULIA, which has grown significantly over the past decade. I remain convinced that the company's overarching CAE strategy, termed MODSIM, is a winner. MODSIM enables engineering processes to be reformed by unifying modeling and simulation on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. CFD is critical to this effort and complements other key simulation technologies such as structures. My only regret in retiring at this stage (aside from no paycheck of course!) is that I will no longer be an integral part of the maturation of MODSIM. On the plus side, retirement begets hiring opportunities, so any folks embarking on a career in CAE simulation -- CFD or otherwise -- should check out career options at Dassault Systemes!

Industries with a high cost of failure like Aerospace and Automotive are realizing tremendous value creating Vitual Twins with our 3DEXPERIENCE Platform. It’s an exciting time to be at Dassault!!

Well said Florence. In the end technology is not an end unto its self, but it is an enabler of human skills, creativity and passion. In other words the virtual and real and data domains intersect with the know-how and experience domains this is how we improve the human condition. Education is both a way to transfer knowledge but more it lifts up people, gives them the way to enrich their personal skills and contributions to society. It is the way forward building on and from the past to a more equitable and sustainable future, This is why La Foundation Dassault Systèmes is an important part of what and why we do things.

Embarking on a New Chapter in My CAE Journey #layoff #careerchange #CAE #newopportunities Today, I received the unexpected news that I am being laid off from my role at Hexagon due to budget cuts and restructuring. While this is undoubtedly a challenging and disappointing moment, I am choosing to view it as the beginning of a new chapter in my professional journey. During my time at Hexagon, I had the privilege of working with some of the most talented and dedicated individuals in the world of computer-aided engineering (CAE). I am grateful for the countless opportunities I had to learn, grow, and contribute to innovative projects that pushed the boundaries of what's possible in simulation and design. I am incredibly proud of what we accomplished together, and I will always cherish the friendships I've made along the way. To my colleagues and mentors at Hexagon: thank you for your support, guidance, and camaraderie. I know that many of these relationships will endure far beyond our time as coworkers. As I reflect on this experience and look ahead, my passion for CAE remains strong. I am excited to explore new opportunities that allow me to continue leveraging my skills and expertise in simulation, modeling, and analysis to drive innovation and solve complex engineering challenges. At the same time, I am open to the possibility that this unexpected change could lead me in new and exciting directions. I am eager to explore roles and industries that may be outside of my traditional CAE background but could benefit from my unique perspective and problem-solving abilities. To my network: if you know of any opportunities that could be a good fit for someone with my background and skills, I would be grateful for your support and connections. And to any companies or teams looking for a driven, adaptable, and collaborative CAE professional, I would love to discuss how I could contribute to your success. While change is rarely easy, I am choosing to embrace this moment as an opportunity for growth, discovery, and reinvention. I am confident that with the support of my network and the resilience I've developed over my career, I will land on my feet and thrive in whatever comes next. Here's to new beginnings, exciting possibilities, and the enduring power of the relationships and experiences that shape our journeys. #Hexagon #simulation #engineering #innovation #networking #newbeginnings #gratitude #resilience

Today, an astonishing 90% of cars in the world are engineered with #3DEXPERIENCE capabilities! 🤯 I don’t say that out of pride (well, maybe just a little), but because it’s a striking indicator of how prominent #virtualtwins already are in the industry. Yet it raises another question: if the workplace of today is increasingly digital, can we ensure the same of the workforce? There are reasons to be concerned: I’ve highlighted before the worrying fact that 66% of recent engineering grads in the US lack skills in areas like additive #manufacturing and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). That’s why I’m so pleased that initiatives like our ‘Future of Engineering’ education experience are helping address this skills gap, providing students and teachers with leading industry software, classroom-ready resources, and certifications. And these solutions aren’t just helping power the factories of today; they are also supporting tomorrow’s sustainable innovators by offering students experiences in processes like life cycle assessment and eco-design through virtual twins. It’s a super exciting initiative, and one I think will be essential in ensuring that we are as well-prepared as we can be for the future.
