We’re planning to have two virtual seminars per week. Already, these seminars are quite popular. There’s no limit to the number of seminars you can attend. Some of the ACE seminars already completed include:

“Leveraging product manufacturing information for variational analysis”
“Collaboration using technical data packages in NX”
“Using Teamcenter visualization”

More seminars to come…

What’s an ACE virtual seminar?

  • Attend as many web-based sessions as you wish – at no cost to you.
  • Community: We’ll capture additional and relevant information from our user community and distribute to attendees to enhance user best practices.
  • Excellence: Our experts share practices and insights from the field with targeted and specific content to support you now.
