Attendance at this meeting costs nothing, and will provide you with the opportunity to be involved at the outset in NAFEMS activities in the Nordic countries. The meeting is open to all: NAFEMS members and non members.


NAFEMS - International Association for the Engineering Analysis Community
NAFEMS is an independent, not-for-profit association. The scope of its activities encompasses all simulation technology, including Finite Element Analysis and Computational Fluid Dynamics. In line with its objectives, NAFEMS is continually seeking to create awareness of new analysis methodologies, deliver education and training, stimulate the adoption of best practices and promote the effective use of technology by offering a platform for continuous professional development. NAFEMS and its members are involved in the application of many different types of engineering simulation covering both products and processes. Membership exceeds 700 organisations in over 30 different countries and almost 60 member companies in the Nordic Countries.

Regional Activities
The activities of NAFEMS are organised by a number of local regional groups. As part of an ongoing strategy to increase the international coverage of the organisation, the number of regional groups is increasing. Currently there are groups in Germany, Italy, Spain, France, UK and North America. Consideration is currently being given to the formation of a group covering the Nordic Region.

Get involved!
We would like to invite you and your company to get involved with the NAFEMS activities in the Nordic Countries. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the requirements and needs of the engineering community in simulation technology (FEA, CFD) in this region. Ideas and suggestions for activities, e. g. meetings, seminars, FEA basic courses etc. will be collected. Further we will give an overview of NAFEMS (achievements, current status, future plans) and explore the possibility of forming a NAFEMS group for the Nordic countries to manage the activities. At this first meeting we will be also looking for people who might become members of this group.

Benefits for you and your company
Take the opportunity to influence the activities of NAFEMS in the Nordic Countries and be directly involved in their delivery. Gain invaluable networking contacts with leading individuals in the engineering analysis community. Represent your company’s interests and influencing technology development strategies. Take advantage of the expanded industry, vendor and user contacts within a professional community and network of peers. Improve the profile of you and your organisation by sharing your technical knowledge. Stay totally up to date with the very latest advances in the marketplace. Achieve personal and professional satisfaction from knowing that you are contributing to the safe and reliable use of simulation technologies.

Attendees
Everyone who is involved in engineering simulation technology (FEA, CFD) should attend this meeting – industry user, decision makers, development leaders, members of universities and research institutes, software and hardware vendors etc. This meeting is open to all: NAFEMS members and non members!
