Seminar “Integrated Open CAD/CAE Platforms for Mechanical
Engineering” & NAFEMS Annual General Meeting
 The one-day seminar on Integrated Open CAD/CAE Platforms for
Mechanical Engineering, on September 28th 2005 at ESTEC, Noordwijk,
The Netherlands, attracted more than 80 participants who showed
great interest to learn and discuss the latest trends and
developments in the integration of computer aided design and
analysis for mechanical engineering.
The event was attended by the major CAD/CAE tool developers serving
European industry who presented their strategies and product
capabilities.
The seminar was jointly organised by ESA’s Mechanical
Engineering Department (D/TEC-M) and NAFEMS.
“The user community is looking for effective tools available
at affordable cost” said Dr. C. Stavrinidis, head of
ESA’s Mechanical Engineering Department and current Chairman
of NAFEMS, in his opening speech. “Finding answers to this
challenge will allow us to improve further the engineering
processes and their level of integration. In turn, this will
translate into cheaper space systems and services for
Europe’s citizens.”
