SHELBY TOWNSHIP, MI – June 26 2001 – ESI Group, a leading provider of virtual engineering solutions, today announced AMERIPAM 2001, its third annual North American conference. This two-day event will take place October 24-25, 2001, near Detroit, at the Townsend Hotel in Birmingham (MI). AMERIPAM 2001 will feature user presentations and in-depth presentations of ESI Group’s numerical simulation environment, the Virtual Try-Out Space.

Conference Highlights

  • Understand why and how engineers are substituting physical crash and occupant safety tests by virtual prototyping for safer cars, trains and aircraft, while reducing design costs and time to market.
  • Evaluate how virtual manufacturing simulation allows to validate and optimize the material forming processes to required tolerance and quality.
  • Discover how virtual environment simulation allows to anticipate actual product usage in it’s environment, like problem solving technologies for current and future electromagnetic compatibility requirements or numerical flow simulation to save energy and improve acoustic and thermal comfort.
