10:00 - 10:30	(Broadcasting) Opening Speech Yasuhiko Fujikawa, President & CEO, VINAS Co., Ltd.
Structural design optimization for weight reduction and enhancement of structural strength and ergonomics
10:30 - 10:45	VINAS's approach toward efficiency improvement of design optimization process Toru Sugino, Director, Head of Tokyo Office, VINAS Co., Ltd. Presented in this session is VINAS's approach toward efficiency improvement of design optimization processes used in various industrial fields such as automotive, marine/ship, industrial vehicles, general machines, and electric/electronics.
10:45 - 11:00	Introduction of TOSCA, which is widely used by German automakers for their automotive design process Hidetoshi Takaoka, Engineering Department 3, VINAS Co., Ltd. TOSCA works together with general purpose FE solvers to perform speedy design optimization for significant weight reduction and achievement of required features and is therefore used extensively in the front line of automotive design by German automakers. This session presents you with various features of TOSCA.
11:00 - 11:05	Break
11:05 - 11:45		TOSCA-Structure: Nowadays a mature Optimization Technology in the Design Process.（FE-DESIGN: The Optimization Company since 11 Years） Mr. Manfred Fritsch, Dipl.-Ing., Engineering Services , FE-DESIGN GmbH
	The challenge and pressure to develop and produce competitive products is stronger than ever, especially in the current economical situation. FE-DESIGN, the technology leader in topology/shape/bead optimization solutions since one decade, is helping customers worldwide to improve their products from the first draft design through the final series-production. Industrial case studies will show efficient approaches to achieve results "over night".
11:45 - 12:30		TOSCA Structure 7.0, Strengths and Highlights of the latest Version Mr. Chavdar Georgiev, Dipl. -Ing., Engineering Services, FE-DESIGN GmbH
	Optimization is getting more and more important in the modern product development process. FE-DESIGN introduces with the latest release of TOSCA Structure Version 7.0 a highly effective tool for topology, shape and bead optimization. Besides many advanced functionalities a new and revolutionary graphical user interface (GUI) with TOSCA ANSA ™ environment is available now. This enables you to set up the workflow for optimization tasks in an "engineer like" and intuitive way and to use all advanced functionalities of TOSCA 7.0 and your FEA solver. For the first time it is possible now to close the optimization loop between topology and shape optimization by using the fully automated validation run with TOSCA ANSA ™ environment. Latest case studies with TOSCA from different European companies will also be presented.
12:30 - 13:45	Lunch / Demonstration *Short presentation
13:45 - 14:30		Structural Optimization Solutions with TOSCA (topology/shape/bead) are indispensable today in all industries (e.g. heavy industry, electronic, medical, aircraft) and not in automotive only. Mr. Manfred Fritsch, Dipl.-Ing., Engineering Services , FE-DESIGN GmbH
	Structural optimization technology is used in automotive industry successfully since many years. TOSCA Structure was developed for their advanced and challenging demands and requests; e.g. consideration of non-linearities and manufacturing constraints or integration of fatigue in the optimization process. In the meantime all other industries can benefit from our multi years of experiences in topology/shape/bead optimization solutions: Several examples from these industries are showing how these customers could leverage knowledge for their own advantage.
14:30 - 15:10	Topology optimization and acoustic structure optimization of contacting and large-deformation part Masami Tsukamoto, Structure Performance Optimization Group, Engineering Department 3, VINAS Co., Ltd. Approach toward formerly impossible design optimization based on contact and large deformation problems and consideration of acoustics in structural design is presented in this session.
15:10 - 15:30	Lunch / Demonstration *Short presentation
15:30 - 16:10		TOSCA application example in compressor development Mr. Ryota Aoki, Analysis　Technology　Research　Dept. Advanced　Technology　Development　Office R&D　Division, SANDEN CORPORATION
	SANDEN uses non-parametric structural design optimization in its development process of compressors for automotive air-conditioning unit to speed up the development and to improve the quality of design. This session presents their application examples and discusses how and why they introduced TOSCA and their optimization achievements so far, as well as their future challenges.
16:10 - 16:50		Optimization of emboss geometry in automotive heat insulation plate - Can non-parametric optimization beat parametric optimization? - Mr. Susumu Sunaga, R&D　Senior Supervisor, FUKAI MFG. CO., LTD.
	The embossing technology is widely used as one of the effective weight reduction method for heat insulators in the western automotive industry. This embossing technology must accomplish its maximum stiffness while considering formability in the limited space given by vehicle body structure. In order to determine the most appropriate emboss geometry, let me introduce which software is more appropriate considering the characteristics and advantages of parametric optimization and non-parametric optimization.
16:50 - 17:30		Shape optimization of engine component by TOSCA Mr. Hiroki Otsubo, ANALYSIS DEPT. 61 CAE TECHNOLOGY DIV. 6, TOYOTA TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
	One of the most complex components of an automotive engine is cylinder head. This session presents an example of non-parametric shape optimization performed by TOSCA to reduce weight and cost while maintaining reliability.
17:30 - 17:35	Coffee Break & Demonstration
(Broadcasting) Keynote Speech
17:35 - 18:15		Multi-scale, multi-physics heart simulator "UT-Heart" Prof. Toshiaki Hisada, Graduate School of Frontier Sciences, The University of Tokyo
	This year's keynote speech presents a multi-scale, multi-physics heart simulator which can accurately reproduce excitation propagation, heart contraction and ejection of blood by configurating 20 million mathematical cell models based on molecular mechanism throughout the actual tissue structure of a heart.
