How simulation helps optimise products

Conference will share strategies and applications that illustrate how physical test and virtual simulation methods have helped optimize product development processes.

LMS International, the engineering innovation company, will hold its annual US Conference on March 20 and 21 in Detroit, USA, and its European Conference on April 17 and 18 in Stuttgart, Germany.

The LMS Conference in the US will host Dr Takeshi Abe, Henry Ford Technical Fellow, NVH at Ford Motor Company and Craig Brown, Engineering Group manager, at General Motors Powertrain as keynote speakers.

The keynote session of the European edition of the LMS Conference is supported by Prof Giovanni Cipolla, director, Advanced Engineering and Hybrids, at General Motors Powertrain Europe, Arnaud Torres, associate director of the Powertrain Engineering Technology Business Unit at IFP and Dr Stefan Schreiber, Leiter Mechanik and Messtechnik at Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG.

During the two-day conferences, engineering executives, senior managers and their technical staff will share their strategies and present application cases that illustrate how new physical test and virtual simulation methods and technologies have helped them optimize their product development processes.

The conference is the ideal venue to discover the latest technology evolutions in virtual simulation and physical testing and to exchange best practices in performance engineering domains such as durability, ride and handling, machine dynamics, acoustics, noise and vibration, structural integrity, and more.

The 2007 edition of the LMS Conferences features over 60 industry and university speakers, showcasing applications from a wide variety of manufacturing industries including automotive, off-highway, aerospace and heavy machinery.

LMS will welcome speakers from Airbus, Arctic Cat, Autoliv, BAE Systems, CA Engineering, Caterpillar, CIRA, CRF, DaimlerChrysler AG, Denso Thermal Systems, DLR, ELASIS, FH Ingolstadt, Ford Lommel Proving Ground, Ford Motor Company, Fraunhofer LBF, GE Wind, General Motors Powertrain, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen, IDIADA, IDS Ingegneria dei Sistemi, IFP, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, IPG Automotive, Landi Renzo, Novicos, Politecnico Di Milano, PSA Peugeot Citroen, Rieter Automotive Systems, SABCA, Technische Universitaet Hamburg Harburg, TEMSA Automotive, The Trane Company, Universitaet Stuttgart, University of Ferrara, University of Maryland, University of Michigan, University of Naples, University of Pisa, Vibracoustic and Volkswagen.
