2013 Users Conferences

In February 2013, MSC Software reached a major milestone: the company celebrated half a century of driving engineering simulation innovation forward. With new products, new advancements in technology and a new surge of inspiration, MSC continues the tradition of helping engineers around the world to design, develop and analyze their products with certainty. MSC Software will celebrate this achievement during its international 50th Anniversary User Conferences.

The Americas user conference will be held at the Hyatt Regency in Irvine, California on May 7-8, 2013. The conference agenda includes deep technical expertise from speakers presenting on behalf of BMW, Boeing, Baker Hughes, Caterpillar, China Aerospace, Ford, Graham Packaging, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, NASA, Scripps and many more. To view a full listing of speakers and abstracts to be presented at the Americas Conference, visit our User Conference web page.
