Invitation

In product innovation processes, simulation driven design and virtual manufacturing have been implemented to reduce physical testing and to improve product behavior and performance in order to meet customers needs and expectations. Computer simulation not only replaces physical prototypes, but it also introduces a complete new way of experimenting with ideas and enabling the design engineer to explore, test and manipulate the product and receive fast feedback.

Today engineers can perform different types analyses on a 3D CAD model with bi-directional associativity, allowing the user to make changes to their model in a tightly integrated environment. The recent enhancements in FEA and CFD technology, combined with improved meshing technology and faster computers allows for real time interactive process.

Seminar objectives

The seminar is intended as a forum for designers, engineers and companies interested in getting a comprehensive overview and gain knowledge about the latest advances in simulation driven product development. The participants will be shown how leading companies have adopted the technology, illustrated with practical examples on how the technology is being applied in different industries. Thus, the current state of the art and trends as well as future challenges will be presented for the participants.

Hardware and Software Exhibition

The seminar will be accompanied by an exhibition featuring the latest software and hardware developments. The exhibition is an ideal opportunity for hardware and software vendors.
