The NAFEMS UK Conference 2008 was held at the Barcelo Cheltenham Park Hotel in Gloucestershire on 10th & 11th June 2008. Entitled Engineering Simulation: Effective Use and Best Practices, the Conference gave delegates an unrivalled independent insight into the current best practices and state-of-the-art in FEA and CFD and associated technologies, providing the most comprehensive overview of the technology available.
The two-day conference aimed to increase awareness and provided a discussion forum for topics that are important and relevant to engineering industrialists and academics. With this in mind, an outstanding agenda was available to enable all who attend to gain an invaluable insight into the current "hot topics" and best practices in the simulation world.
The event was open to both members and non-members of NAFEMS, with members attending the event for free, as part of their membership benefits package.
The principal sponsor of the Conference was Icon CFD. Further sponsorship came from Acusim Software, Altair Engineering, Bull, Simulia, DEM Solutions, ITI Transcendata, MSC.Software and Siemens, and the conference was also supported by IMechE, IOP, BSSM and FAM.
