2013 LS-DYNA Forum
We warmly invite you to attend the 12th LS-DYNA Forum (free of charge), which will take place at the FILharmonie in Stuttgart-Filderstadt in Germany from 24 – 25 September 2013. The event consists of two parts, i.e., the "Developer Forum" focusing on background information and new developments in LS-DYNA and LS-OPT and the "LS-DYNA User Forum" where renowned speakers are invited to present their applications. Seminars and workshops will also be held before and after the event.
LS-DYNA Developer Forum

LS-DYNA User Forum
25 September, 08:45 - 17:10
At the LS-DYNA User Forum, a selection of presentations will be given on application areas concerned with nonlinear analysis using LS-DYNA. For the event, we were able to attract speakers from the companies Basell, BASF, BMW, Daimler, Hyundai, Johnson Controls, Magna Steyr, Opel, Porsche, Toyota, ViF and Volkswagen as well as from the universities TU Dortmund and TH Mittelhessen. The presentations will give an excellent overview of current and future simulation requirements in the automotive sector. The main focus will be on modeling plastics, composites and ultrahigh-strength steels as well as on the joining techniques of bonding and welding. This year, the program developers Dr. Jason Wang and Dr. Brian Wainscott from LSTC will be giving a summary of the latest and planned developments in LS-DYNA.
