AIAA is pleased to announce that the Region VII/International Student Conference will be held from 27–28 November 2023 at the University of New South Wales Canberra, Canberra, Australia, and online. This conference is intended for AIAA Region VII Students from around the world, with the exceptions of Canada and Mexico, which have been incorporated into AIAA’s North America Regions. The conference will also be hybrid with an online component to accommodate students who are not able to travel to Australia to present their paper in-person.
The AIAA Region VII Student Conference is a technical and oral paper competition for undergraduate and graduate students of all majors! Connect with professionals in the Aerospace industry and also meet other like-minded students who share similar interests, and receive feedback on your work! Students may submit any paper that covers the technical disciplines of AIAA, and will have the chance to compete for cash prizes in a fun-filled two-day event. First-place winners will be offered a chance to compete in the 2024 International Student Conference, taking place in conjunction with the 2024 AIAA SciTech Forum, with flight, lodging, and most expenses paid.
*This competition is subject to all applicable laws, including US export laws. US law prevents AIAA from accepting registration fees, awarding prize money to, providing feedback on or publishing entries from, persons residing in Iran, Cuba, North Korea, Crimea, Sudan, or Syria. Additionally with respect to the conflict in Ukraine, AIAA will continue our practice not allowing Russian- or Belarusian-based students to participate in the AIAA Region VII Student Conference.

The CEAS Conference on Guidance, Navigation and Control or “EuroGNC” an applied conference with strong aeronautics and space orientation. Non-aerospace applications with similar challenges and modeling approaches are welcome (e.g. automotive, robotics, wind energy, underwater vehicles). Theoretical works that are applicable to the aeronautics and space problems within the scope of EuroGNC are also welcome. Please see the full scope of the conference on the topics page.
EuroGNC 2024 in Bristol
The 2024 conference will be hosted from June 11th to 13th, 2024 at the University of Bristol in Bristol, United Kingdom and with the support of the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS).
Watch a recording of the 2023 ASCEND Update and Sales webinar. You’ll be able to learn more about ASCEND, gain insight into what the 2023 event will look like, and discover how your organization can benefit substantially through exhibiting or sponsoring.
Since nearly the conception of the finite element method, superelements, or substructures for linear static (static condensation) or linear dynamic (Craig-Bampton) analyses, have been a relevant technology for achieving computational tractability for models that exceed computation capability. This is done by reducing segments of an overall assembly model into reduced representations (e.g., stiffness matrices, mass matrices, etc.).
With modern computation capabilities, the role of superelements has shifted toward a method for finalizing part representations prior to inclusion in larger assembly models. These reduced models significantly limit the design flexibility in downstream analyses, which may be required to meet systems-level requirements. By leveraging machine learning techniques with ODYSSEE, Smart Superelements (SSE), introduced in MSC Nastran, can be generated, and include predetermined parameter vaariations.
This capability provides the part owner with the ability to embed select variations into the superelement prior to its inclusion in larger assembly models. Similarly, the assembly analyst can adjust these select parameters at solution time without the expertise of the part owner. As a result, the institutional knowledge of the part owner and prior what-if studies can be captured to allow for flexibility in meeting systems-level requirements. In this work, an example end-to-end workflow will be demonstrated for a drone model.
