OpenRadioss™ Users' Day 2024

September 26, 2024 | Temple University, Philadelphia USA

About the Event

Our worldwide OpenRadioss™ Community continues to grow daily, attracting experts from industry sectors, academia, and research. Across increasingly diverse projects, they are applying and enhancing OpenRadioss - the open-source, industry-proven analysis solution for evaluation and optimization of product performance for highly nonlinear problems under dynamic loadings - to meet their particular needs. 

The OpenRadioss Community is delighted to be invited to Philadelphia USA by Elham Sahraei, Associate Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Temple University, and the center of excellence for the safety of electric vehicle battery packs. Together, we are planning an entire day of thought-provoking technical presentations and discussions on recent advances made by the OpenRadioss Community. 

Register today for this in-person event, space is limited!

 

UPDATE! Livestream available:

While our event is focused on those attending in-person, a livestream of the presentations will be made available for those across the globe unable to travel. Register today by selecting from the drop-down on the form of how you will be attending.

Agenda

 

 

Paul A. Du Bois | Crashworthiness Analysis, Independent Engineer

Paul A. Du Bois was born in Kortrijk, Belgium in 1956 and became a civil engineer at the university of Gent, Belgium in 1979. From 1980 till 1987 he worked as a project and senior engineer at ESI in Eschborn, Germany where he was one of the original developers of PAMCRASH and pioneered the application of numerical simulations to automotive crash problems. He works as an independent consultant in the field of industrial numerical simulations since september 1987.

Paul specializes in the application of explicit time integration techniques to dynamical phenomena such as crash and impact problems. Most of the world’s automotive assemblers such as Mercedes-Benz, Chrysler, Honda, Toyota, Ford, GM, Volvo, Tesla and others figure on his list of customers. For the German automotive research organisation FAT, he consulted to the working groups ’side impact dummies’ (1992-1997) and ’Foam’ (1996-today).

Since 2004 Paul also consulted with NASA and has worked for the Space shuttle’s ’return to flight’ program, amongst other projects. Since 2006 Paul has continuously consulted on the FAA's catastrophic engine failure program.  Apart from methods development work he has also trained hundreds of young engineers and his 4 day class 'crashworthiness and impact simulations with LS-DYNA’ has been a standard with several LS-DYNA distributors worldwide since 1992. The course is offered in collaboration with Suri Bala since 2017.
