Date: 16-18 March 2021
Format: Three, 3-4-hour Sessions
Location: Online International Seminar
The automotive engineering community is now confronting the largest technology transformation since its inception. The demand to manufacture cleaner, safer, and smarter vehicles, along with providing an overall enhanced driving and ride experience, has never been higher. As a result, engineering teams must discover, evaluate, and successfully implement leading-edge technology and methods to produce reliable, effective results.
Hence, the challenges for automotive engineers are enormous and require a significant increase in the upfront use of numerical simulation capabilities, methods, and processes such that they’re able to efficiently design, manufacture and deliver these innovative technologies to market in greater speeds than ever before.
NAFEMS Americas and invited speakers will cover these topics, and more, at, “Simulation in the Automotive Industry: Creating the Next Generation Vehicle." This virtual event, centered on engagement, aims to deliver information and insights on critical topic areas in a manner that maximizes the “take-away” value for attendees. An event agenda and concept championed by several leading figures in the automotive industry will provide the opportunity to learn about the latest technologies and practices, which attendees can later share and apply within their own organizations.
Topics may include, but not limited to:
We're going to do something a little different with this event! Each day will last approximately three hours (total of nine hours over three days). The first two hours will be comprised of presentations, with the final hour being devoted to virtual breakout discussions.
To learn a bit more about what you can expect, watch the video at the top of this page.
The event agenda is subject to change. All times are Eastern Daylight Time.
