North American Symposium on Design Integration
Glasgow, UK, October 25th
2006 –
NAFEMS, The International Association for the Engineering Analysis
Community, has announced the “Symposium on the Integration of Analysis in Product
Design”
, to be held on November 13th
2006 in Chicago, Illinois.
NAFEMS is an independent not-for-profit body with the sole aim of
promoting the effective use of engineering simulation methods such
as finite element analysis, multibody system dynamics and
computational fluid dynamics.
Integrating analysis with the product design process is one of the
most talked about topics in the analysis community today. Software
vendors, industrial users, and engineering managers all realize the
vital importance of timely integration of analysis in the design
process, but the visions, opinions and priorities placed on this
can vary from one company to the next.
The reality is that many questions remain unanswered -
- What importance do industry leaders place on design integration?
- How quickly will we see the transition to a fully-integrated
process?
- How will the industry handle the obvious challenges now and in the
future?
- How many other companies are struggling with the options? How are
they handling this?
- Does the industry know what its users actually want?
In its role as The International Association for the Engineering
Analysis Community, NAFEMS aims to bring the industry together in
order to answer these questions.
Sponsored by Solidworks, UGS, LMS and ABAQUS, the Symposium on the
Integration of Analysis in Product Design is the first event of its
kind, and will provide attendees with a truly unique insight into
how the industry is prepared to handle the challenges ahead.
In a roundtable format, industry leaders will share their vision
for the future of analysis as an integrated component in product
design.
Attendees will have the opportunity to hear directly from the
developers how they plan to handle the integration challenges that
they will be facing in the coming years. The floor will be open for
participants to question, challenge or expand on the plans
described by the panelists.
Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity to learn how
others facing similar challenges have resolved their integration
issues. If your company has determined that product simulation and
analysis is going to be a growing part of your product design
process, this symposium will be the best place to learn how the
industry is growing and how to best prepare for it while making
sure your needs are heard.
The Panel will include industry experts from NAFEMS, Solidworks,
UGS, LMS, ABAQUS, and others to be confirmed. The symposium
promises to provide an active and lively debate about the future of
design integration.
