Composite and Light-Weight Material Modeling and Simulation

The aim of this afternoon seminar was to focus mainly on current and potential users of simulation tools in the field of composite and/or light-weight materials. The presentations gave an overview of the applications being carried out by various companies, research centres and universities, working in a variety of sectors and were independent of any particular software. Taking account the increasing activity in simulation in the Iberian peninsula, this seminar was a good opportunity to discuss this topic and meet with other colleagues working in the same area.
