Over 100 attendees (and counting) are ready to join the 5th biennial ESTECO technology Users’ Meeting (UM17) on October 24-25 in Detroit, Michigan.
Engineering future and past will overlap at UM17 as the birthplace of Model T, Ford Piquette Plant, sets the stage for keynote speakers from some of the world’s most forward-thinking companies.
On October 24th, high-profile speakers from Arconic, Cummins, Ford Motor Company, Honda, Whirlpool, University of Florida, Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation (HI-SEAS) will share their know-how and successful real-life applications of ESTECO technology, along with expert insights and future vision.
On October 25th, participants will have the opportunity to take part in free training courses and learn about the latest updates along with a hands-on experience with ESTECO technology. Two full-day training sessions, beginner and advanced, will take place at the Wayne State University.
Emerging from Mars analog mission after 8-month of isolation, Ansley Barnard is sure to be a very special speaker at UM17. A former Ford engineer and an aspirant astronaut, last January she embarked on the Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation (HI-SEAS) - the NASA-funded research project studying human behavior in long term space exploration missions. On ‘Mars’, Ansley used ESTECO’s modeFRONTIER to optimize waste production.
Manager of Advanced Analytics and Optimization at Arconic, Sergio Butkewitsch Choze, will underline the benefits of knowledge management, data aggregation and data driven optimization in advanced manufacturing.
Bob Tickel, Director of structural and dynamic analysis at Cummins, will talk about the success at Cummins in becoming more analysis led, with specific focus on the role of optimization in the process.
Eric DeHoff, Chief Engineer at Honda Honda R&D Americas will address the participants with a provoking title: “Optimization: I don’t think you know what that word means”.
Greg Gasterski, Senior Principal Engineer at Whirlpool Corporation, will focus on model based system engineering, and in particular on optimization with SysML and modeFRONTIER.
Mario J. Felice, Manager of the Global Powertrain NVH CAE engineering Department at Ford Motor Company will talk about microstructure Optimization for NVH Improvement.
Last but not least, Master’s candidate in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Florida and Systems Analyst at Cummins, Michael Bambula will present the project that assured him the first prize at the ESTECO Academy Design Competition 2016/2017.
UM17 is the perfect opportunity for the ESTECO technology users from different industrial sectors and academia to exchange know-how and ideas. The participants will testify to the versatility of the software and provide interesting insights on possible future applications.
Following a day packed with insights into the future of engineering, participants will have a chance to dip into the automotive history. A guided tour through the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant museum, where the world's first affordable car was created, will be followed with an informal networking event in the evening.
