Exa to Host European PowerFLOW Solution Forum in Frankfurt

Exa® Corporation (NASDAQ:EXA), a global innovator of simulation software for product engineering, will bring together a group of industry-leading design and engineering executives on the eve of the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show to discuss how simulation-driven design is enhancing product development today.

Global vehicle manufacturers use Exa’s simulations each day to make engineering decisions. This example of a car with and without side mirrors demonstrates how engineers can simulate real-world airflow and the aerodynamic impact of a side mirror on a vehicle’s drag using simulation alone. This is just one example of the aerodynamic, thermal and acoustic engineering challenges that engineers look to Exa’s software suite to help resolve.

The Exa European PowerFLOW® Solution Forum will include a special presentation by automotive design visionary Chris Bangle, of Chris Bangle Associates, on the future of car design. The event will comprise of a number of presentations from Exa customers around the globe on the successful application of digital engineering – highlighting aerodynamics, aeroacoustics and thermal management. Speakers include representatives from BMW, Bentley, Continental, Denso, Doosan, Jaguar Land Rover, MAN, Nissan, Opel, Scania and SDF.

Jean-Paul Roux, President of European Operations at Exa remarked, “As the global auto industry gathers in Frankfurt to launch their new vehicles, Exa will host its forum to discuss the future of vehicle development.  As car and truck OEMs along with their suppliers respond to emissions-based regulatory demands without wanting to compromise design and performance, they are increasingly turning to Exa’s digital simulation solutions. The PowerFLOW Solution Forum is an opportunity for our customers to share their insights and successes on how simulation-driven design is helping them to develop products which reflect real-world driving conditions.”

Exa’s European PowerFLOW Solution Forum takes place on Monday 11 September at the Frankfurter Botschaft. Also, for the first time, Exa will have a stand at the Frankfurt Motor Show, showcasing its digital simulation technologies and work with carmakers and suppliers. The stand location is Halle/FG 4.1, Stand-Nr. C37.
