A delegation from South Ural State University is participating in the international exhibition INNOPROM-2016.
South Ural State University will not just demonstrate its best developments, it will also be establishing promising contacts. Within the exhibition, an agreement was concluded on the partnership between South Ural State University and the company Siemens PLM Software. SUSU rector, Aleksandr Shestakov, and general manager of Siemens PLM Software in Russia and the CIE, Viktor Bespalov, participated in the signing ceremony.
Both parties aim to join forces in engineering education and engineering to realize joint projects. The partnership will provide for the establishment of a center of expertise at SUSU in PLM technologies. This new site will be an informational and educational base for training specialists in the concepts of products’ full life cycle. Also expected is the opening of an academic laboratory for teaching modern technologies and solutions in Siemens software. Scientific research and development work related to wheeled and tracked vehicles will be held and new applied CAD methods will be developed for industrial enterprises in the region.
It is planned that from the next academic year, SUSU’s academic plan will include a training program in PLM technologies to prepare engineering workers. The course will be dedicated to modern industrial processes in machine building factories. Beyond this, partners plan to work together in the development of concepts of digital enterprises using Siemens PLM Software solutions for simulation of technological processes.
“Signing a partnership agreement allows SUSU to reach a new level of training staff who are masters of modern technologies of simulation and engineering analysis,” notes Aleksandr Shestakov, “Partnership with Siemens PLM Software allows our university to effectively execute the full range of work in innovative projects for industrial enterprises, included engineering systems, development of three-dimensional models and constructor documentation, calculations, tests, semi-natural simulations, and technological preparation of production at an advanced organizational and technological level in a single software environment.”
“The world is on the brink of a new technological revolution, the result of which will be the significant growth of industrial labor and changing demands on professions and skills. Those organizations, whose policies are aimed at the application of innovative, technological solutions will win,” said Victor Bespalov, “We’re very pleased that South Ural State University chose the PLM systems of Siemens that are based on breakthrough technologies. Their use creates opportunities to advance student education and the active transformation of the industry as well as the creation of high-tech competitive products.”
South Ural State University and Siemens PLM Software combine many years of successful experiences in natural, dynamic testing and the development of mechanisms with intellectual control and products based upon them. SUSU researchers were the first in Russia to use the absolutely new methods of Siemens for leading virtual vibration tests of complex and crucial technologies, promising constructions, and their elements for their use in the aerospace and automotive industries.
