Conference Agenda

The 2011 EnginSoft Conference lasts two days and is organized as follows:

  • The plenary session is being held on the first day in the morning: here, scientific topics, which are relevant also at global level, are being discussed.
  • On the first day in the afternoon and on the second day in the morning parallel technical sessions are taking place, where representatives of the Italian and global industry are presenting  their CAE applications .
  • On the second day in the afternoon the software updates in the Mechanical, CFD (computational fluid-dynamics) and Optimization disciplines are being presented.

The Conference is also including an exhibition area with representatives of software, hardware and complementary technology providers and a showroom where CAE application posters are being displayed.
