Advances in Simulation for the Engineering & Construction Industry / New York, NY - 8:30am-1:30pm

Advances in Simulation for the Engineering & Construction Industry / New York, NY - 3:30pm-8:30pm


With more complex designs, stringent safety requirements and increasing energy concerns, designing or improving commercial structures is a critical engineering challenge. Whether trying to achieve LEED certification or demonstrate structural survivability, companies that innovate with new thinking and technology will lead the way.

The role of engineering simulation for innovation is more important than ever, and ANSYS is leading the way.

To find out more, please join CAE Associates and ANSYS in New York City on Thursday, March 11 for a special live, complimentary seminar highlighting state-of-the-art simulation techniques for the engineering and construction industry. Two sessions of this seminar will be offered: 8:30am - 1:30pm OR 3:30pm - 8:30 pm.

Topics will include:

›  Green buildings and energy efficiency (LEED): offices, atria, data centers, public buildings, underground trains and stations
›  Specialist design/analysis considerations: seismic response, soil structure interaction, nonlinear response of large, complex structures
›  Civil/Structural/Geotechnical engineering: building, bridge, foundation and tunnel design, construction simulation and code checking
›  Wind engineering: pressure mapping, pedestrian comfort, structural loading
›  Fire and safety: fire modeling, smoke transport, fire suppression, structural resilience
›  Homeland security: blast response, progressive collapse, chemical and biological gas spread

In addition, Microsoft will give a special presentation on high performance computing and its growing importance in engineering simulation.

Important Information:

Location: - The seminar will be held in Manhattan at the Microsoft offices at 1290 Avenue of the Americas (6th Ave between 51st & 52nd St.), 6th Floor - Studio 54 Conference Room, New York, NY 10104.

For NY Professional Engineers: CAE Associates is an Approved Sponsor of Continuing Education for Engineers in New York State. Attendance at this seminar is equivalent to four contact hours.
