Femap Symposia Series goes to Florida

On January 17th Piper Aircraft and SDA hosted a Femap Symposium event at Vero Beach, FL – the home of Piper. The event was well attended and presentations ranged from advanced analyses performed on aircraft components to the latest additions to the Femap software. Piper also arranged a very interesting tour of their manufacturing facilities for the attendees.
