An Hour with the Doctors (PhD's in Mechanical Engineering)

Sometimes there isn't a clear answer to a problem and you just want to speak with an expert for a few minutes. Dr. Brant Ross heads our R&D team and enjoys speaking with customers about problems. In some cases, that drives research and in other cases, he knows of similiar problems that others have solved.
You have been invited to spend an hour with Dr. Ross and discuss CAE related problems. Dr. Ross has over 30 years of CAE experience with a focus on Dynamics. Dr. Ross is a frequent speaker at conferences, a university professor and frequent author of industry papers.
