Introduction
Weight reduction and fast development cycle of industrial products are more strongly sought after under current economic crisis and in the face of increasing demand for prevention of global warming, improvement of efficiency in resource and fuel use, as well as higher safety and amenity.
VINAS is pleased to announce the "Structural Design Optimization Seminar for Weight Reduction - Learn from Germany/Europe", in which strategic use of structural design optimization and the latest technological trends are introduced by the business development manager and consultant engineer from FE-DESIGN, the developer of TOSCA and a business partner of VINAS.
By presenting how European companies are trying to overcome current global economic crisis strategically using structural design optimization in their business operation, this seminar provides a lot of useful information for product development activities.
Structural design optimization technology is now becoming popular not only in German auto industry but also in other industries in Europe such as heavy industry, construction equipment, machine tools and home appliances, and participants of this seminar are presented with various case studies in which it is used as an essential tool for weight reduction, improvement of stiffness and speeding-up product development cycle.
On April 24th, free training and consultation of TOSCA are offered in Tokyo. If you are interested in experiencing the TOSCA software first hand, we recommend you to join the free training. If you have specific application questions or a request for benchmark test, a consultant engineer from FE-DESIGN is available for discussion on an individual basis (free of charge on April 24th).
We hope to see you in the seminar.
