PAM-CRASH Forum 2011

Renowned speakers from industry, research and academia will present their latest developments and applications in the field of Virtual Performance Solution by PAM-CRASH/SAFE solver and its field of application in various CAE focuses (Crash-/occupant simulation, airbag folding, implicit calculation, new materials, etc.).
Additionally, ESI provides detailed information on technical developments and new fields of application for the built-in Virtual Performance Solution software applications.
