Continuing what avid ANSYS users consider a CAE tradition, preparations are underway for the 2004 International ANSYS Conference to be held from May 24-26, 2004 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. The event brings together engineers and analysts worldwide from all disciplines of computer-aided engineering.

ANSYS, ICEM CFD and CFX-related technical papers are being accepted. The technical paper portion of the conference provides users the opportunity to tell their story to colleagues and showcase their organization.

In addition to the personal rewards, ANSYS distributes awards for the best paper in each technical session. The best overall conference technical paper author will be awarded conference travel compensation, hotel accommodations, and free admission to the conference, while second, third and fourth place authors will be awarded free admission to the conference. Technical paper topics address the complete spectrum of engineering applications from biomedical to aerospace with suggested topics that include accuracy in FEA, coupled-field analysis, fluid structure interaction, MEMS simulation, and probabilistic design.
