1st MATFEM Conference

A forum for advanced material modelling

The first MATFEM conference took place on 26 October 2010 at Schloss Hohenkammer, a conference centre some 30 km off Munich airport. The conference was a forum for discussing material modelling as well as a get-together of MF GenYld + CrachFEM users.

MATFEM will present new features of MF GenYld + CrachFEM. There will also be an opportunity to discuss future developments and improvements to material modelling.

We would like to thank all participants for joining the conference and all speakers for their invaluable contributions to he conference.
