TECHNIA Simulation Centre of Excellence Announces Worldwide Simulation Innovation Forum - SIMIF

TECHNIA, the #1 knowledge leaders in PLM and Engineering, announced today that they will host the Simulation Innovation Forum Virtual Experience on November 26th. This online event will follow the successes of TECHNIA’s three prior Virtual Experiences in 2020. These online events saw more than 3000 delegates gather to explore and discuss the future of sustainable product development and manufacture.

The Simulation Innovation Forum Virtual Experience will bring together world-leading experts to showcase pioneering simulation knowledge and help solve tomorrows challenges with today’s simulation expertise. TECHNIA Simulation Centre of Excellence and customers will present two parallel tracks covering complex simulation propositions. From collaboration using simulation tools on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to detailed exploration of Linear Dynamics, Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and more.

Join the global simulation community to discuss and debate the future of innovative simulation within the context of sustainable Product Lifecycle Management.

“SIMIF is very much in line with TECHNIA’s purpose, ‘making product creation sustainable’. Simulation is a critical part of any company’s digital transformation to enable new, more sustainable transportation systems, infrastructure and consumer products. By adopting simulation early in the development process, we see dramatic improvements in lead time, quality and reliability. Furthermore, simulation is a key enabler for next generation materials and connected products. And new fields such as Human Simulation are emerging where we can assist Life Sciences companies, researchers and healthcare professionals to improve the quality of life for society.” -

Jonas Gejer Chief Executive Officer | TECHNIA

“During SIMIF, Simulation experts will get a glimpse of the TECHNIA Simulation Center of Excellence’s expertise, knowledge and knowhow. We are very proud of the compelling agenda we have created together with our customers and partners. On many of the agenda topics it will be shown how our expertise and high-end Simulation Software solutions will contribute to a more effective and efficient way of solving complex engineering challenges. With our recent addition of Scanscot in the TECHNIA family, we have enforced our strengths and expert knowledge even more for Simulation solutions like Dymola for system simulations, CST for Electro magnetics and Brigade for a Complete tool-box for analysis and design of bridges and civil structures.”

Dolf Broekaart, Director Simulation | TECHNIA

"We, at Scanscot, are thrilled to join TECHNIA as part of the worldwide Simulation Centre of Excellence. We’re especially proud to co-host the Simulation Innovation Forum and to deliver even greater value to our customer community."

Johan Kölfors, CEO | Scanscot Technology

The full agenda will run from 9am-4.00pm CEST, comprising of a detailed, hands-on workshop from 9am-12pm followed by two parallel tracks with TECHNIA customer and partner presentations, panel discussions and digital booths.
