We cordially invite you to our PERMAS Technology Day on April 27th, 2023 at 9.30 Uhr a.m. in Stuttgart.
The event will be held in German and will take place in our office in Stuttgart. For our international users, the PERMAS Users' Conference will take place again in 2024. Contact us today if you would like to contribute to our 40th anniversary in 2024.
In lectures we show a variety of technical applications on current PERMAS and VisPER topics. The event will take place in the office of INTES at Breitwiesenstrasse in Stuttgart. Approximately 30 minutes are planned for the presentations with a short discussion. Questions are welcome directly after the presentations and in one-to-one discussions.
As a further part of the technology day, we would like to talk to our guests about questions and concerns of software users in a TechTalk. We will reserve time for this in the afternoon. We encourage you to participate by giving us your points for the TechTalk on the attached sheet or by email up to one week before the event. We are happy to answer your questions and suggestions.
Participation in the PERMAS Technology Day is free of charge for you, including meals. Registration closes on Monday, April 17th.
We look forward to your participation.
You can register online! All information can be found on our event page.
We regularly offer regular training courses for PERMAS in the fall. These are then carried out online.
Please note that the language for the regular courses in spring listed on the training page is German and that they take place in Stuttgart unless denoted differently.
We would be pleased to advise you on the ideal selection of training courses.

The topics range from generative design, additive manufacturing, sampling, harmonic balance method and fast contact solvers to fatigue life calculation.
This are the lectures in detail (events):
- 13./14. March 2023: NAFEMS Seminar "Robust Design & DoE mit realen Defekten" in Munich : "Advanced Sampling Techniques for Synchroneous Whirl of a Rotor subjected to uncertainties" und "DoE To Extend Knowledge about NVH Behavior of Braking Systems" vertreten.
- 15. - 18. May 2023: NAFEMS World Congress in Tampa, Florida, USA: "Design Space Exploration and Optimization of Structures under Consideration of Buckling Conditions", "Contact Analysis in EV Applications", "Generative Design - Topology Optimization from CAD to CAD", "Standardized Testing with Simulation Support in Structural Dynamics", "The Harmonic Balance Method and its Applications in Structural Dynamics", "Product validation with High Performance Simulations", "Benefits from Integrating Fatigue Analysis into the FEM Solver" and "Weight Optimization of Transmission Housings" vertreten.
As every year we have tried to virtually work on a seasonal topic.
Harmonic Balance is the topic of this year:
A Christmas bell is rung by a harmonic bouncing of a clapper onto the bell surface considering nonlinear contact conditions. The clapper excites the bell due to a prescribed sinusoidal movement which constant frequency lies near the first resonance frequency of the bell at 110 Hz. All deformation and acoustic results are analyzed by Harmonic Balance Method combined with Time History analysis.
The animation on the left side shows the proportion of acoustic sound radiation power for the forth harmonic vibration of all single frequencies in a range between 90 Hz to 130 Hz.
The animation on the right side shows the ringing of the bell in time domain. Therefore all considered harmonics are proportionately superimposed in one period for the selected excitation frequency at 110 Hz.
In order to contribute to environmental protection, we donate to the WWF for the "Stop the Plastic Flood" project to reduce plastic waste in the seas.
We wish you a healthy, peaceful, and secure new year 2023.

At this year's PERMAS Web Conference, we were able to welcome up to 120 guests worldwide online. On the regular dates, each on two Wednesday/Thursday combinations, individual subject areas were presented with in 90 to 150 minutes.
The industry lectures and the presentation of the latest PERMAS technologies met with great interest. A wide range of topics was covered, which alone the titles for the seven dates illustrate:
- PERMAS V19
- Nonlinear Analysis
- Dynamics
- V19 Highlights
Of particular note among the innovations presented for PERMAS V19 are the two completely new subject areas Harmonic Balance Method and Lifetime Calculation.
In the subsequent discussions and through e-mails, we were able to take up many suggestions from our customers.
After this successful web conference we look forward to the next events!

Die German Association for Computational Mechanics reports on PERMAS for Education.
The German Association for Computational Mechanics (GACM) is a non-governmental association. The objective of GACM is to stimulate and promote education, research and practice in computational mechanics and computational methods in applied sciences, to foster the interchange of ideas among various fields contributing to computational mechanics, and to provide forums and meetings for the dissemination of knowledge about computational mechanics in Germany.
The next PERMAS Users’ Conference will also take place as a virtual meeting.
We cordially invite you to talk about your applications and experiences with PERMAS/VisPER. Whether new or proven simulation topics, every area of application offers interesting aspects that deserve it to be exposed. We look forward to each of your suggestions.
We ourselves would also be curious to learn more about your experiences with e.g.:
- Contact (multigrid),
- Optimization,
- Dynamics and fluid-structure acoustics,
- Design of electric vehicles or
- Nonlinear material.
A lively exchange of experiences is driven from your contributions. INTES will do its best to create a pleasant atmosphere during the event.
The complete Call for Papers with all details is available here: Call For Papers.

Contact Analysis? - PERMAS
Do you want to save modelling time by automatic meshing? Specific interpolation schemes will give good stresses also for coarsed (corner node based) contacts.
Are missing initial penetrations hard to handle? This is a frequent problem of contact solvers.
What about contact and large deformations? See animation for an example.
All five pages with a lot of informationen about contact analysis are on our new contact analysis flyer.
Please check also our flyer about Contact Analysis - Fast and Accurate.
Do you like to get all information by presentation? Here is the video Next Generation Contact Analysis.
