• Free Online PDX Event: Simulation in Product Development

  Send us a textThe next PDX event is coming up – so mark your calendars for Thursday July 18th…  ...and this one is free (and online)!   In this event, simulation expert and 35 year veteran of the industry Krishna Raichur will teach you the basics of setting up, running, and evaluating results of FEA simulations. You’ll learn how early-stage simulation can help reduce development times, decrease warranty costs, and reduce part weight through topology optimization.  This is not a sales pitch. As with all PDX events, the training will focus on practical skills you can apply to your work right away. Krishna will also be doing Q&A to answer your real-world simulation questions at the end. The webinar will cover:What simulation is and how you can leverage it in your product development workHow you can save time and money for your company by doing simulations early in the product design cycleHow to make “what if” design changes and quickly see their effects on product performanceHow to optimize your design for things like weight, strength, and size. Again, this PDX event is online and happening Thursday July 18. Register for free here.
