Use of Simulation in the Aerospace Industry

The pace of development in the aerospace market is accelerating faster than ever and the role of CAE tools is a major part of todays product development processes.

This seminar will provide the attendees with an up-to-date overview of how the latest CAE technologies are being applied to Aerospace products.

A vision for the direction of simulation tools and processes in the design, development and manufacture of aerospace products will also be presented and discussed.

This seminar brings together industrial practitioners, software vendors, end users and hardware suppliers to discuss these issues.

• Case studies from leading companies in this industry that illustrate how the latest techniques are applied, with emphasis being placed on the engineering solution and benefits
• A panel discussion with OEM’s, consultants, end users and software vendors
