Hi All:

The SIMULIA Regional User's Meet (RUM), India for the year 2012 held at Bangalore received an overwhelming attendance with approximately 300 plus participants. During the first half of the day Simulia occupied the front stage in presenting  some of its new technology enhancements and a live demo on Develop and Deploy Simulation Process Flows using Abaqus, Isight & Simulia lifecycle management (SLM) tools. Post lunch our customers took over the stage  to present some of their high quality work where Simulia Products were used. We had eleven presentations in three parallel sessions on various topics like durability, manufacturing, process automation, vehicle dynamics, etc.

  We have collated the papers presented by the participants- these can be seen attached to this blog for your reference.
