We are very pleased to announce that on October 7th, 2022, 
the Western PA Ansys Users Group Meeting is returning and 
will be in person!  This event will bring together the 
Western PA User Group for the first time since 2019!

This group was formed and is run by users in the Western 
Pennsylvania Ansys community. The goal of the group is to 
bring Ansys users together to exchange ideas, network, 
obtain updates on new technology applying to FEA, problem 
solve, and socialize. Members of the group are made up of 
Ansys users from a variety of industries and universities 
from western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, New York, and 
Ohio.

We are looking forward to hearing updates from the Group and 
the Ansys Customer Excellence (ACE) Engineering team.

As partners in simulation, we welcome the opportunity to 
have you speak on behalf of your company or institution. 
Joining a select group of thought leaders who will share 
their vision and experience in simulation and how Ansys has 
supported their innovations. Speakers will share a concrete 
example of how Ansys simulation was used to address 
challenges during the design, testing, and/or approval of 
your products. We want to provide an opportunity to showcase 
the incredible work your organization is doing while 
networking with like-minded, industry-focused peers!

The presentation length is ~30 minutes, and below is a 
framework that may make presentation development easier. 
With that said we welcome any content and are flexible on 
format and timing.

 Recommended Framework – ~30 mins  

•                     (~ 5 min) Introduction – Explain your 
role at Company and what your company is known for.

•                     (~ 10 mins) Challenges – What 
challenges did you experience during the design, testing, or 
approval of one of your products?   

•                     (~ 15 mins) Solution – How did you use 
simulation to address these challenges? What solvers? Did 
simulation uncover something that would not have been 
possible to detect otherwise? Can you share improvement 
metrics?

•                     (~ 5 mins) Best Practices & Roadmap – 
What’s your advice and key takeaways for the audience?
