Dassault Systèmes announced the opening of the 27thAnnual SIMULIA Community Conference (SCC) at the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence, Rhode Island (USA). This is the largest gathering in the history of the conference, which continues through Thursday, May 22, 2014.
Beginning today, SCC will highlight customers who have used Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE platform’s realistic simulation applications to open new horizons for business. Partners, industry leaders and hundreds of the world’s most talented and innovative engineers will share their stories, explore new ideas and become inspired to take their projects to the next level.
Attendees of the event will learn how the world of design has changed: it has become more social – and global collaboration is critical. At the 2014 SCC, keynote speakers, presenters and SIMULIA experts will highlight how simulation now plays a central role in the world of design – from concept to detailed engineering, including testing, validation and usage in real-world operating conditions.
“As the premier gathering for engineers and scientists, the 2014 SCC is based on the premise that a revolution is under way in the field of simulation,” said Scott Berkey, CEO, SIMULIA, Dassault Systèmes. “Our customers have seen what simulation can do for them and they now want more from their investment.
