Autodesk to Sponsor and Speak at NAFEMS World Congress May 23-26 in Boston

Company to Highlight Engineering Analysis and Simulation Software

May 23, 2011 -- Autodesk is the gold sponsor of the 13th annual NAFEMS World Congress, May 23-26 in Boston. The newly unveiled Autodesk SIM Squad will be on-site at the event—showcasing Autodesk’s 3D simulation, design, and engineering software portfolio for manufacturers, including the newly launched releases of Autodesk Simulation (formerly Autodesk Algor Simulation) and Autodesk Moldflow as well as CFdesign software from recently acquired Blue Ridge Numerics.

With Autodesk Simulation 2012 and Autodesk Moldflow 2012 software, engineers can use Autodesk Inventor Fusion to modify or simplify geometry more quickly and easily, helping to optimize designs as fast as possible. Autodesk Simulation 2012 software also offers an all-new user interface and integration with Autodesk Vault for easier management of design and engineering data. Autodesk Moldflow 2012 software introduces real-time injection-molding simulation functionality—enabling dynamic evaluation of a range of plastic part design alternatives in a fraction of the time it takes to perform a standard simulation, helping to pinpoint the best design more quickly.

Autodesk SIM Squad members Brian Zias, Ryan Abel, Al Duff, Bob Williams, Rita Schnipke, James Herzing, and Xiaoshi Jin will be available throughout the event at Autodesk Booth #11 and are ready to talk about simulation trends, issues, and developments. Other highlights include the following:
