The conference will bring together experts, senior practitioners and
decision-makers from industry, as well as representatives from
prestigious institutes and universities; allowing them to share
experiences and to exchange information on their current imperatives.
Vincent Chaillou, COO ESI Group, will open the Plenary Session by
presenting his view on the synergies between Computer Aided Engineering
(CAE), R&D and innovation in today’s highly competitive industrial
context.
Masayoshi Suehiro from Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation
will share his expert knowledge of manufacturing processes through a
presentation focusing on the “Practical use of CAE towards
application of high strength steel to automotive bodies”. The
audience will learn how these new materials are enabling automotive
manufacturers to efficiently reduce the weight of their new vehicles.
François Gurkini, from ArcelorMittal Japan, will then present the
company’s latest use of CAE for “Hot Stamping with Usibor1500PR”,
a steel product specifically developed for use in automotive structural
and safety components, with the aim to meet vehicle weight reduction
requirements.
Mitsuhiro Takayama from Honda R&D Co., Ltd and Masato
Uemura from F.TECH.Inc. will close the Plenary Session with a
presentation entitled “Study of durability estimation by accounting
for production process of press parts”. They will highlight the need
to precisely assess manufacturing processes, their consequences and
possible coupling effects when setting performance targets, including
durability.
The afternoon sessions will focus on the key industrial challenges of ESI’s
customers across various industry sectors, with a focus on
transportation, energy and heavy industry.
The transportation session will gather presentations from Autoliv Japan,
Nissan Motors Co., Honda R&D Co., F.TECH.Inc, Mazda Motor Corporation,
Y-tec Corporation and Osaka University. In the energy session, ESI will
welcome presentations from Japan Atomic Agency, Toyo University, Gifu
University, Shizuoka University and Tohoku University.
The second day of the conference will investigate the latest
applications of ESI’s
complete offering by trade, including Virtual Manufacturing, Virtual
Performance and Virtual Environment. Speakers will include current ESI
users, partners and prestigious Universities: ATHENASYS Co., Mazda Motor
Corporation, Yokohama National University, AP&T, Press Kogyo Co., Nissan
Motor Co., Railway Technical Research Institute, Doshisha University,
Panasonic Corporation, Humanetics Innovative Solutions Japan Inc., NEC
Saitama, Pacific Consultants Co. and Waseda University.
Following ESI’s recent acquisition of OpenCFD
Ltd., the leader in open source computational fluid dynamics,
a parallel session running on both days will be dedicated to exploring
the OpenFOAM
business model, to CAE model management using OpenFOAM
(pre & post processing and GUI), and to other technical aspects of the
OpenFOAM open source toolkit that is maintained and supported by OpenCFD.
Throughout the event, attendees will have the opportunity to experience IC.IDO,
ESI’s Virtual
Reality solution, which uses the latest immersive 3D visualization
technologies to build a platform for collaborative virtual engineering.
