8th European Users Conference STRASBOURG - France

LS-DYNA®

May 23rd-24th, 2011

Welcome to the 8th European LS-DYNA® Users Conference

On behalf of the Conference Committee, we are honored to invite you to

the 8th European LS-DYNA® Users Conference which will take place in

Strasbourg (France) on May 23rd & 24th, 2011.

The conference will be an excellent occasion to meet LS-DYNA® users from all over

the world and to share LS-DYNA® applications in different areas. Presentations will

cover various LS-DYNA® related topics, new developments and new applications

from academic and industrial engineers. An exhibition area will allow you to obtain

information about the latest software and hardware developments related to LS-

DYNA®. Several training classes will be offered before or after the conference.

Known as the European Capital, Strasbourg is home to the Council of Europe, the

Human Rights Building and the European Parliament. It is a major hub, making for

an easy access to the European LS-DYNA® meeting !

The city is also a host to cultural and historical attractions. The whole of

Strasbourg’s town centre, the “Grande Ile” has been listed as a World Heritage of

Humanity by UNESCO thanks to the richness of its architecture.

Many great trips are available to visitors : the Northern Vosges Regional Nature

Park, The Wine Route, etc.

You still have the opportunity to participate,

you can register now at :
