The Department of Chemical Engineering and Petroleum Industries organized a scientific seminar titled “Digital Transformation in Equipment Design,” delivered by Professor Dr. Shaker Saleh Bahr, with the attendance of a number of faculty members, undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as those interested in industrial design and development.
The seminar addressed the major transformations taking place in the field of industrial equipment design in light of the rapid advancement of digital technologies. The speaker reviewed the role of 3D modeling and advanced engineering design software in enhancing design efficiency and reducing errors prior to the manufacturing stage. He also highlighted the importance of engineering simulation and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in evaluating equipment performance under various operating conditions, contributing to cost reduction and improved reliability.
The seminar further discussed the concept of the Digital Twin and its role in real-time equipment performance monitoring, as well as its capability to predict failures before they occur through operational data analysis. In addition, it explored the application of artificial intelligence technologies in improving design decisions and accelerating development processes.
