September 17th at the Audi driving experience center in Neuburg a. d. Donau

Visit us at PreonDay Germany 2026!

Look forward to exciting insights into topics such as:

• The latest features and enhancements in PreonLab
• Advances in thermal simulation and multiphase flow analysis
• Innovative approaches to wading, soiling, and rain simulations
• Optimized workflows, improved usability, and enhanced performance
• Current application examples for more efficient simulation and development processes
• Opportunities for leveraging PreonLab in the cloud

PreonDay thrives on exchange and collaboration. In addition to technical presentations and real-world use cases, this year’s event will once again provide plenty of opportunities for new perspectives, fresh ideas, and direct discussions with the Preoneers!
