Speaker:

Albert L Klosterman, Ph.D.

VP and Chief Scientist

SDRC, Milford Ohio

Title:

" Current Use of CAD/CAE/CAM/PDM Software in a Variety of Industries and Requirements for Future Design Automation Systems"

Abstract:

SDRC develops and markets the I-DEAS CAD/CAE/CAM software and the Metaphase Product Data Management (PDM) software. Over 300,000 licenses of these products are used for designing, analyzing, manufacturing and testing mechanical products around the world. Dr. Klosterman has been with SDRC for the last 28 years in either research or managing the I-DEAS software development organization. He will present examples of the use of CAD/CAE/CAM/PDM software in a variety of industries to develop products "better, faster and cheaper". With this background he will then discuss some of the requirements for the next wave of design automation software.

Short Biography:

Klosterman earned a BSME, MSME and Ph.D. from the University of Cincinnati. He is an active member of ASME and has taught and published extensively on Design Automation technology. His research and publications have been in the areas of NURBS geometry, Solid Modeling, Variational Geometry, Automatic Mesh Generation, System Dynamic Analysis, Design Optimization, Experimental Modal Analysis and Web Enabled Product Development.
