Complimentary In-Person Event

The conference took place in Birmingham, United Kingdom

 

Thank you for joining us at the Oasys LS-DYNA UK Conference 2023 which took place on 8th of June at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Birmingham, UK.

This annual event was a unique opportunity for simulation experts, industry professionals, and academics to get together and explore the latest advancements in the Oasys and LS-DYNA world.

This year’s conference featured a comprehensive programme which provided attendee with the knowledge and skills to unlock the full potential of LS-DYNA and the Oasys Suite. They also had the chance to participate in interactive sessions, share ideas, and learn from our software team about how to address complex engineering challenges.

In addition, the conference was an excellent opportunity to hear from industry experts, network with fellow professionals, and stay up-to-date on the latest trends in the industry.

We hope you left the event feeling more knowledgeable, connected, and inspired by the presentations and interactive sessions we prepared. Content from the day is available below.
