NAFEMS AGM 2006

Seminar - Interfaces and Data Exchange for Integrated Open CAD/CAE Platforms

Seminar - How to Ensure that Simulation is Fit for Purpose

We have the pleasure of inviting you to a unique two-day seminar programme held jointly by NAFEMS and ESA/ESTEC.

The programme commences on October 12^th with the seminar “Interfaces and Data Exchange for Integrated Open CAD/CAE Platforms”, which is organised by the Mechanical Engineering Department of ESA's Directorate of Technical and Quality Management (TEC-M). Following this, the NAFEMS Annual General Meeting will take place late afternoon, and on October 13^th , the NAFEMS seminar “How to Ensure that Simulation is Fit for Purpose” will be held.

The seminar programme will take place at ESTEC, Noordwijk, The Netherlands, which is only 30 minutes from Amsterdams Schipol Airport, to which there are frequent and reasonably priced flights from around Europe. Attendance is free for all of these events , giving you access to two cutting-edge seminars as well as the NAFEMS AGM, in one convenient location.
