Conference

fleXstructures GmbH, IPS AB, Fraunhofer-Chalmers Centre FCC and Fraunhofer ITWM are pleased to invite you to attend the 3rd International IPS Cable Simulation User Conference. Many users of IPS Cable Simulation from all over the world already seized the opportunity to participate in our conferences, to learn more about the making of the software and new features and to share their own experiences with users from different domains and different countries. With the 3rd IPS Cable Simulation User Conference 2017, we will continue this tradition and strengthen the international network of experts applying the cable simulation technology. IPS Cable Simulation is a powerful innovative tool for design, virtual assembly and DMU of flexible parts. Its main capability is the real time simulation of the deformation of wires, hoses and cable bundles of various material types and a variety of cross-section profiles. Due to unique and outstanding features such as cable length optimization and automatic routing including clips, IPS Cable Simulation has become the leading tool in its specific domain.
