Simulation, Detection and Experimental Correlation of Material Damage, Fracture and Fatigue. Seminar Programme: 03 November 2010

The International Association for the Engineering Analysis Community

Engineers rely on computer modelling and simulation methods and tools as vital components of the product development process. As these methods develop at an ever-increasing pace, the need for an independent, international authority on the use of this technology has never been more apparent.

NAFEMS is the only worldwide independent association dedicated to FEA and CFD.

Companies from numerous industries and every part of the globe have invested heavily in engineering technologies such as Finite Element Analysis and Computational Fluid Dynamics.

• But how do they ensure they get the best return from their investment?
• How do they develop and enhance their capabilities?
• How do they know they are using the technology in the most effective way?

NAFEMS is uniquely placed to help answer these questions.

NAFEMS is an association of more than 800 companies and academic institutions worldwide. Members range from major global corporations through mid-sized organizations to small-scale engineering consultants.

If you work with simulation, you should be part of NAFEMS.
