Hermann, Head of the Composite Technology Center, Airbus and Pat Hearn, Director, Advanced Fuel Cell Products, Ballard Power Systems. Axel Hermann, graduated from the Clausthal University of Technology, obtained his PhD from the Institute of Applied Mechanics, TU-Clausthal. He is General Manager of the Composite Technology Center GmbH, a subsidiary of Airbus, as well as the head of "pre-development" at the Center of Excellence Vertical Tail Plane, Airbus Deutschland GmbH. He is professor in production technology at the University of Bremen. In 2004, he founded the research and supplier network "CFK-Valley Stade e.V." Pat Hearn is Director of Advanced Fuel Cell Products at Ballard Power Systems, and is responsible for coordinating and advancing new fuel cell technologies and products that enable Ballard to maintain leadership in its automotive, power generation and residential co-generation fuel cell business. Prior to this, he was Platform Director for Ford and DC Automotive Fuel Cell Stacks and Director of R&D at Maxtor Management Corporation. Other presenters include : Thomas Schnorf, Aluminium Casting and Polymer Forming Simulation Alcan Technology & Management Ltd, Dr. Hariaokto Hooputra, Department of Crashworthiness Simulation BMW AG, Prof. Dr. ir; Johan Steelant, Division of Propulsion and Aerothermodynamics ESA-ESTEC, and Dr.-Ing. Philipp Hein, Automotive Research Center Arcelor Flat Steel Europe. First held in 1990, EuroPAM is a unique venue where the latest developments in digital simulation are presented and demonstrated by, and to, global industry leaders. EuroPAM 2005 is expected to draw more than 400 delegates representing a wide cross-section of industries, including aerospace, automotive, biotechnology, defense, electronics, energy, and manufacturing. During three days, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in parallel to five conferences dedicated to Crash and Occupant Safety, Stamping, Casting, Vibro-Acoustics and CFD. A Predictive Manufacturing Welding / Heat Treatment workshop is scheduled on October 5th as well as Open Virtual Try-Out Space and the Simulation of Low Cost Material on Aerospace workshops on October 7th.

About: ESI Group
ESI Group is the world leading software editor for the numerical simulation of prototype and manufacturing process engineering in applied mechanics. The key to ESI Group's success is the use of realistic material physics, providing "as good as real" virtual solutions, in order to replace the lengthy trial and error processes on real prototypes.ESI Group has developed an entire suite of coherent industry-oriented applications to realistically simulate a product's behavior during testing, to fine tune the manufacturing processes in synergy with the desired product performance, and to evaluate the environment's impact on product usage. ESI Group's product portfolio, which has been industrially validated and combined in multi-trade value chains, represents a unique collaborative, virtual engineering solution, known as the Virtual Try-Out Space (VTOS), enabling a continuous improvement on the virtual prototype. By drastically reducing costs and development lead times, VTOS solutions offer major competitive advantages by progressively eliminating the need for physical prototypes. A sustained growth Total consolidated revenue for fiscal year 2003, ending January 31st 2004, increased by 15% in real terms and 22% at constant exchange rates, compared to the previous year reaching 49 million euro. The software activity remained stable with 73% from licenses and 27% from services. The major acquisitions made in 2002 and 2003 accounted for 15% of revenue growth and took part in the strengthening of the Group's position on the American market. As in previous years, ESI Group maintained a strong international presence with 50% of turnover generated outside Europe and 79% of revenue outside. Listed on the Nouveau Marché of Euronext Paris, ESI Group employs almost 500 high-level specialists worldwide.
ESI Group and its global network of agents provide sales and technical support to customers in more than 30 countries. A key investment area: Research and Development ESI Group is making substantial R&D efforts and forms partnerships with leading academic and research laboratories in order to offer state-of-the-art solutions. ESI Group also provides high value-added services, worldwide through its subsidiaries located in Europe, Asia and Americas. Consulting projects with strategic industrial partners as well as European R&D contracts exemplify ESI Group's strong engineering knowledge and scientific expertise. |
