NAFEMS Iberia Seminar

Solving Structural Integrity Challenges with Engineering Simulation

Tuesday 20 February 2025 | Madrid, Spain

Structural Integrity is required in many engineering sectors to create products that will serve their designed purpose and remain functional for their desired service life.

The NAFEMS Iberia seminar on 20 February 2025 will focus on the role of engineering simulation approaches - including FEA, CFD and associated technologies - in providing safe, practical and reliable solutions to structural integrity problems including:

• Fluid-structure interaction,
• Impact, Shock and Crash,
• Simulation for Vulnerability,
• Integration of Analysis & Test.

The seminar will offer presentations on novel case studies, innovations, new practices, etc. and will facilitate discussions and meeting like-minded engineers to help improve your knowledge, your collaborations and network and help prepare for future developments in the industry.

Call for Presentations

NAFEMS Iberia invites you to submit your abstract for consideration, in English, Spanish or Portuguese language. Submissions are welcomed from across the industry and from every area engaged in simulation within the topic. Presentations are expected to last 15 minutes followed by 5 minutes discussion. The best presentation will be voted by the NAFEMS Iberia Steering Group and will then be requested to publish in the NAFEMS technical journal EMAS.
