European Built Environment CAE Conference (EBECC)

Featuring presentations and discussions given by industry-leading companies and expert users of technology from ANSYS, EBECC will showcase the very latest state-of-the-art multiphysics simulation technologies and innovations in CAE-related disciplines, including computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for airflow modelling and finite element analysis (FEA) for structural studies. Technology for the fully integrated application of multiphysics simulation to give maximum efficiency and design benefit will also feature. Topics include:

• Occupant comfort: offices, atria, public buildings, underground trains and stations

• Specialist design considerations: seismic response, cyclic loading on structures, cooling of data centres

• Wind engineering: pressure mapping, pedestrian comfort, structural loading

• Fire and safety: fire modelling, smoke transport, fire suppression, structural resilience

• Homeland security: explosion modelling, chemical and biological gas spread

• HVAC and refrigeration equipment: fans, chilled beams, facades, diffusers, grills, noise modelling

EBECC presentations will be designed to address industry requirements, demonstrating how analysis has contributed to design and engineering processes and helped assure that operational performance is not compromised. Papers will be given on specific technologies and case studies that highlight best practice, demonstrating both the engineering and business case for the application of CAE.

EBECC is designed to attract a diverse range of stakeholders, providing a rare opportunity to network with directors, managers, partners, associates, consultants and engineers from industry-leading companies.

As part of the event, an evening dinner will be held on the first night of the conference, set in the dramatic surroundings of the Tower of London, located in London’s oldest financial district. The night will begin with a tour of the crown jewels in the Jewel House followed by a pre-dinner drinks reception in the White Tower, which was completed in the year 1087. The evening will finish with dinner served in The New Armouries.
