accuracy. Presentations will cover the latest advancements in simulating these processes, offering new strategies for optimizing production and improving component performance focusing on ingot continuous casting. Understanding how materials' microstruc tures evolve under various processing condi tions is essential for accurately predicting their behavior and durability. Presentations will delve into the latest research and meth odologies for simulating microstructural changes, such as grain growth, recrystalli zation, and phase transformations, enabling more precise and reliable predictions of material performance. Fatigue and fracture mechanics will also be pivotal topics. These discussions will explore how materials endure cyclic loading and the mechanisms leading to crack initiation and propagation. This knowledge is indispens able for designing more robust and depend able components, particularly in high-stress sectors like aerospace and automotive indus tries.

The Transvalor International Simulation Days (TISD) 2024, scheduled from September 30th to October 2nd at the Hotel Pullman Cannes Mandelieu, marks a significant mile stone as Transvalor celebrates its 40th anniversary. This event will gather more than 200 participants, including industry experts, academics, and global partners, providing a premier platform for exchanging advanced knowledge and innovations in material forming simulation.
