Details

New fields of application of simulation and recommendations for watch development.

This webinar provides simulation users with an overview of new simulation approaches, as well as recommendations for efficient watch development, in fields such as statics, dynamics, contacts, wear, shocks, sealing or automation. The aim is to make watchmaking developments more reliable while cutting costs.

Benefits

Watch developers discover new examples of how to use simulation and receive advice on how to be even more efficient.

Target Group

Watch developers, structural engineers and engineers
