Engineering Simulation - Best Practices and Visions of the Future
St Julians, Malta, 17th-20th May 2005
The 10th International NAFEMS World Congress, held from May
17th-20th 2005 in Malta, was the most successful yet. Over 250
attendees from across the globe came together to exchange
information, meet new industry contacts, discuss best practices,
and work towards their own visions of the future.
A packed programme saw over 150 papers presented over three days.
From the largest multinational corporation, to the smallest
consultancy firm, every paper was on an equal footing, and received
equal attention. A listing of all the papers presented can be found here.
The essence of NAFEMS is one of global collaboration across
industries and disciplines, and events such as the World Congress
are a vital to ensure that the global community of engineering
analysis continues to grow together towards continuing best
practice.
This event also marked the final meeting of the EC funded FENet
project, which NAFEMS has coordinated over the past four years.
NAFEMS would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who
made this event such a success, in particular, the conference
sponsors, IBM, MSC.Software, UGS, ABAQUS, Adept Scientific, ANSYS,
CD-adapco, Fluent, Samtech and Air Malta.
