ESI Group's Vibro-Acoustic Users Conference (VAUC 2007) will be held at the Hilton Hotel in Cologne, Germany, from June 12 to 13. This second edition of the conference represents a unique opportunity for technical exchange among vibro-acoustic practitioners, researchers, and application experts. During this two-day event, attendees will have the opportunity to hear papers presented by major industry professionals and learn about the latest in vibro-acoustic software and simulation methods.
Noise and vibration quality is a critical factor in the design of a wide range of products, from automobiles and aircraft to consumer appliances. Vibro-acoustic problems are frequently left until late in the design process, when prototypes are built and tested, and after significant costs have been expended. The VAUC 2007 is a chance to see how virtual prototyping solutions reduce the need for costly laboratory testing, speed up the product development process, and minimize the production cost of noise and vibration control materials and treatments. Among the speakers, the VAUC 2007 will feature vibro-acoustic professionals from a wide cross-section of industries including Alcatel Alenia Space Italia S.p.A., CNES (the French Space Agency), Faurecia, Volkswagen AG, and many others.
Not only will vibro-acoustic users gather to hear and share industrial experiences, participants will also learn about the latest VA One software developments by means of a "hands-on" training session on June 13 supervised by the ESI VA Support Group, where participants will receive a VA One license for use on their own computer. VA One is the evolution of the AutoSEA2 and RAYON software, and combines state-of-the-art FEA (Finite Element Analysis), BEM (Boundary Elements Method), and SEA (Statistical Energy Analysis) solvers in one easy-to-use environment for vibro-acoustic analysis and design.

About ESI Group:
ESI Group is a world-leading supplier, and a pioneer of digital simulation software for prototyping and manufacturing processes that take into account the physics of materials. ESI Group has developed an extensive suite of coherent, industry oriented applications to realistically simulate a product's behavior during testing, to fine-tune manufacturing processes in accordance with desired product performance, and evaluate the environment's impact on product performance. ESI Group's products, which have a proven track record in manufacturing and have been combined in multi-trade value chains, represent a unique collaborative and open virtual engineering solution known as the Virtual Try-Out Space (VTOS), enabling virtual prototypes to be improved in a continuous and collaborative manner. This integrated protocol allows all the company's solutions to work with each other and with applications developed by independent software vendors. By significantly reducing costs and development lead times and enabling product/process synergies, VTOS solutions offer major competitive advantage by progressively eliminating the need for physical prototypes during product development. The company generated sales of nearly $90 million in 2006, employs more than 600 high-level specialists worldwide covering more than 30 countries. ESI Group is listed in Eurolist compartment C of Euronext Paris. For further information, visit www.esi-group.com.
