ESI GROUP UNVEILS EUROPAM KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
23 August 2004 - ESI Group
| ESI Group announces the keynote speakers for its 2004 virtual engineering European conference and exhibition scheduled for October 11-13 in Paris. The three-day event will be held at La Villette conference center in the heart of La Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie. EuroPAM's keynote speakers will feature Volker Tietz, Head of Department for CAE Methods, Volkswagen, and Yves Courage, founder of Courage Competition, an independent racing car manufacturer. Volker Tietz, a Dipl.-Ing. of the University of Hanover, is in charge of CAE simulation, software and processes at the Volkswagen R&D Center. He was previously responsible for digital simulation in an ultra light-weight vehicle project and team leader in the serial development of car bodies. |

He was previously responsible for digital simulation in an ultra light-weight vehicle project and team leader in the serial development of car bodies. Yves Courage has made himself a name in the racing domain. Since 1982, Courage became indelibly linked to the challenge of Le Mans, as founder Yves Courage pitted his wits and a string of cars bearing his name against the 24 Hours. For more than 20 years, his prototypes compete with the biggest names in international car manufacturing. First held in 1990, EuroPAM is a unique venue where the latest developments in digital simulation are explained and demonstrated by, and to, global industry leaders. EuroPAM 2004 is expected to draw more than 400 delegates representing a wide cross-section of industries, including aeronautics, aerospace, automotive, biotechnology, defense, electronics, energy, and manufacturing. On October 11, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in one of the user conferences dedicated to crash and occupant safety, stamping, casting and vibro-acoustics. On October 12-13, EuroPAM 2004 will feature over 40 technical sessions. With "Innovate with Simulation" for main theme, the conference will cover a wide range of topics including automotive crashworthiness, occupant safety, automotive manufacturing, aerospace, material rupture, aero-acoustics and vibro-acoustics, powertrain, engine and fuel cell, fabricated materials, environment, simulation process management, advanced CFD and multiphysics solutions. All plenary and break-out sessions will be simultaneously translated in English, French and German.

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. |
