10 TECHNICAL SESSIONS TAITHERM ADVANCED TRAINING SESSION WEDNESDAY 9:00-3:30PM You know the basics but now you want to learn how to make an even more efficient work flow in TAITherm. Advanced Training will help you achieve just that. In this session you will cover automated post-process reports, exporting directly to Powerpoint, implementing custom physics, user routines, and coupling. You ll also get to learn about capabilities for the upcoming Exhaust Module release. Join in and become a TAITherm expert! Facilitator: Steven Patterson HUMAN THERMAL IN AUTOMOTIVE SESSION WEDNESDAY 9:00-3:30PM You had your design dialed until you started testing with humans. Now you have significant design changes to make based on data you wish you could have had earlier. Save time and frustration by learning how to utilize the Human Thermal Module in your design process. This technical session will focus on models such as cabin warm-ups, cool downs, seat modeling, environmental factors, and other challenges such as physiology changes, clothing, and pre-condition scenarios. Get comfortable with this new technology and understand how to depict real-world human comfort in your upcoming projects. The session will be a mix of presentation and live demos. Facilitator: Josh Pryor & Mark Hepokoski

11 TAITHERM & GT-SUITE TECHNICAL SESSION COTHERM OVERVIEW TECHNICAL SESSION THURSDAY 9:00-3:30PM Gamma Technologies and ThermoAnalytics have teamed up to combine industry-leading technology for modeling passenger compartments and exhaust systems. In this technical session, learn how this coupling brings together all the best features from GT-SUITE and TAITherm to deliver fast, high-accuracy 3D thermal and flow modeling for transient cabin and exhaust models. Facilitator: Jon Juszkiewicz THURSDAY 9:00-3:30PM Customized scripting got you down? Dive into the CoTherm technical session and discover a new way to couple CAE tools and automate your work flow. CoTherm is an ambassador that facilitates the flow of information between CAE simulation products. Instead of working with complicated scripts, CoTherm lets you construct complex CAE coupling processes with an intuitive user interface allowing you to graphically monitor and automate your coupled simulation. In this session, you ll get a tour of the interface, walk through steady-state and transient coupling, and learn how to automate and alter your CAE processes. Facilitator: Josh Pryor
