Liege, Belgium, February 2007. SAMTECH, the European specialist for the development of Integrated MCAE Solutions using Finite Element Method and advanced Multi-Disciplinary Optimization techniques will hold its 10th Users Conference on the 13th and 14th of March 2007, in Liege, Belgium. In addition to all the usual attractions, this year's conference boasts the additional appeal of keynote addresses from AIRBUS and ASTRIUM Space Transportation.
Located in the famous "Palais des Congres", situated on the banks of the river Meuse in Liege, during the two days of this 10th Users Conference, senior engineering managers and their technical staff will present case studies demonstrating how SAMTECH advanced software technologies can improve industrial product development processes. The event also represents the perfect environment in which participants can exchange best practices in a wide range of engineering domains including composite structures analysis, stress analysis, fracture mechanics, post-buckling, rigid or flexible mechanisms analysis, inflatable structures analysis, thermal analysis, ablation, multi-disciplinary optimisation, multi-physics, CAD/CAE integration...
Participants will be welcomed by Eric Carnoy, SAMTECH CEO, to Liege, the city where the Finite Element culture was born in the early sixties, to attend the event that forms a fitting finale to the festivities celebrating 20th anniversary of SAMTECH. "We are delighted to welcome AIRBUS and ASTRIUM Space Transportation at this occasion for our introduction lectures", said Eric Carnoy. "They will give attendees an exclusive strategic view on the Virtual Prototyping technologies used in the aeronautical, space and defence industries now, and in the future."
This year's Conference promises to be especially interesting, with more than 35 technical presentations showcasing applications from industrial sectors as varied as aeronautics, space, automotive, electrical engineering, machine tools, manufacturing, ... We will welcome speakers from universities and research centres collaborating with SAMTECH as well as scientists representing a broad range of well known companies including in particular AIRBUS, ABB, AERMACCHI, ALENIA AERONAUTICA, ASTRIUM ST, AVIO, EADS-CCR, ESA, EUROCOPTER, GENERAL ELECTRIC, PSA, RENAULT, SABCA, SAGEM, SCHAEFFLER, SNECMA, SONACA,...
