Vibro-Acoustics Simulation Seminar
- Thursday, December 13 - 10:00 AM - 2:30 PM
- Santa Clara Marriott - No cost; lunch will be provided
Based on AutoSEA2 (the industry standard for mid and high frequency noise and vibration analysis), VA One offers a unique and unprecedented combination of all standard vibro-acoustics simulation methods: Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA), Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and the Boundary Element Method (BEM). Discover why VA One is the ONE tool you need for full spectrum vibro-acoustic simulation.
Who Should Attend? - Current AutoSEA2 and SEA users and managers - Current BEM users and managers - Current FE acoustic software users and managers - Vibration, acoustics and dynamics engineers - Structural Analysts - CAE professionals
Applications: - Vibro-acoustics - Dynamic Environments - Random Vibration Analysis - Structure-borne Vibration - Pre-test Simulation - Mid-Frequency Analysis
Pre-registration is highly recommended. Visit www.esi-group.com

As usually happens during the ongoing development of a major invention, old information is released (or declassified) and new information surfaces. Such is the case with radar, in particular the first radar, Christian Hulsmeyer’s 1904 telemobilskop, and then the “re-discovery” of radar in its bistatic configuration in the 1930s. (more…)
