MatPro Workshop 2026: Digital Workflows for Determining Material Model Parameters Supporting Aircraft Part Approval

What to Expect at the MatPro Workshop

Join us for an insightful session where we will explore how advanced digital workflows are transforming material modelling and structural simulation for aerospace applications:

• MatPro: Digital workflows to determine material model parameters supporting aircraft part approval
• From test lab data to validated material cards: metals and composites examples
• Methodology for the automated determination of material model parameters for structural simulation applications compliant with aircraft certification requirements
• Digital+ products for transformative and continuous material development and innovation
• Roadmap vision: Data exchange and interfaces between labs and customers, Certiflight as a certification platform from testing to production, Materials AI

We look forward to sharing ideas, discussing industry challenges, and connecting with you throughout the workshop. Coffee breaks and lunch will provide opportunities for conversation and networking.

After the workshop, we invite you to visit the Applus+ IMA testing laboratories. You are also welcome to join us for dinner to continue the discussion in a more relaxed setting.
