10th PERMAS Users' Conference in 2010
Biggest conference since its start about 20 years ago
On April 22nd and 23rd, 2010, the 10th PERMAS Users' Conference took place in Stuttgart (at Filderhalle in Leinfelden-Echterdingen) with 160 participants from 13 countries. 18 presentations from different fields covered a big part of PERMAS functionalities.
An important part of the conference was dedicated to the new PERMAS Version 13 and the new VisPER Version 2 which will be shipped to the customers soon. Among others major achievements include:
- New algorithm to handle gasket elements in engine analysis with very high run time improvements
- Completion of integrated optimization features by shape optimization and bead optimization with VisPER as pre- and post-processor to set up the optimization model
- New analysis module with additional optimization algorithms even for the optimization of nonlinear application cases (like contact surface optimization)
- Extension of modelling capabilities in VisPER for material and geometrical data
- Post-processing of spotweld forces in VisPER
