3rd Annual FENet Industry Meeting & AGM - Ensuring Fitness for Purpose of FEA
The 3rd FENet Annual Industry Meeting & AGM attracted 82 attendees. 19 presentations were held in plenary sessions. In addition, interactive workshops addressed background issues and business drivers in each industry sector. The meeting provided the opportunity to share experiences and to learn what is being done in various industry sectors, with presentations illustrating "state of practice“ in each of the eight industry sectors represented by FENet Thematic Network. It also focused on the integration issues in the RTD areas of Durability & Life Extension, Product & System Optimisation, Multi Physics & Analysis, and Education & Dissemination and Strategic Research needs. Many thanks to Airbus for hosting the meeting.
