Mikkeli University of Applied Sciences and CompMechLab announce 4th Computational Mechanics Workshop

Research Centre YTI of the Mikkeli University of Applied Sciences and CompMechLab of St. Petersburg State Polytechnical University  announce the 4th Mikkeli Computational Mechanics Workshop. The event will take place in Mikkeli, Finland, at August 9-16, 2009.

The aim of the workshop is to bring together mechanical simulation experts from all over the world in order to solve industrial engineering problems, share experiences, exchange information, build networks and to spend a lovely week during the summer at the very heart of the country of a thousand lakes.

Companies will have an opportunity to put forward their own engineering problems for the workshop. These simulation problems will then be solved by CompMechLab computational experts. Please note that the engineering problems should be specified some months prior to the workshop if possible, in order to have them solved in time for the workshop. CompMechLab will solve the problems and the solutions will then be presented at the workshop. However companies will also be able to specify problems during the workshop; in which case the simulation will be done either at the workshop or completed afterwards at CompMechLab, timeframes will depend on the problem complexity.

The workshop program will consist of six hours each day involving FE simulation work and simulation problems discussions with the industry people, the results presentations and will end with plenary session lectures in Friday. The social program features a karting competitions and a banquet in one of the best  restaurants of the region.
