To address questions such as "I have never talked to a small and medium-sized enterprise consultant," "I don't know what they can do for me," and "I would like to have a simple consultation about management issues first," we have started offering a "Simple Management Diagnosis Service" that can be used for free for the first time. It is scheduled to be conducted via "WEB conference" for about one hour. Please feel free to use this service (we also accept on-site consultations, subject to travel expenses).

In addition to the lecture by Mr. Eddy Dascotee from DDS, it has been decided that Professor Okubo, an emeritus professor at Chuo University, will also speak. Professor Okubo is globally recognized in the field of precision mechanical engineering, particularly in "vibration and mode analysis," and has made significant contributions to the noise reduction and high performance of automobiles and machinery. He received the "Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Rays" last year. He will talk for about 20 minutes about his activities and introduce the seminar. This is a rare opportunity to hear the "real insights" from Mr. Dascotee, who is at the forefront of the industry, and Professor Okubo, who has been active in the field for many years. We encourage everyone to come to the venue on May 21 (Thursday). (Application deadline has been changed to May 21, the day of the event.) "Does your CAE align with reality?" How can experimental data (MEscope) be accurately fed back into the analysis model (FEMtools) to connect the cycle of design, experimentation, and analysis? The latest world-standard methods will be elucidated by the developers themselves.
