(Participant: I. Contopoulos)

On June 30 2015, I took part in the «2016 ANSYS Convergence Conference» organized by SimTec, a representative of ANSYS in Greece, and I gave a 20 min invited talk on «Numerical Modeling in Copper Billet Casting» in which I presented a general overview of ELKEME, and a case study on how the ANSYS/Fluent CFD software assisted in the increase of the productivity of a copper billet casting line.
