The students pitched their business ideas to the group, which then broke-out into eight student teams with mentors provided to rotate and mentor each team. Those successful were invited to attend the 3DS event which took place in the East Building, where the University’s new Enterprise Lab has recently opened. The hugely popular event attracted 180 applications from undergraduates and postgraduates across the University for the 50 places available. Vice-President of Programmes, Chandell Stone, a serial social entrepreneur and graduate from Y Combinator – a prestigious American accelerator for startups – who began her career working with low-income students in the Bronx and Harlem, facilitated throughout.

Over the weekend of 21-23 October, the University of Bath hosted the acclaimed Texas-based spin-out company, 3 Day Startup (3DS), to provide three-days of enterprise support for young entrepreneurs at the University. Abaqus/CAE also offers comprehensive visualization options, which enable users to interpret and communicate the results of any Abaqus analysis.Students pitching their business ideas at the 3 Day Startup

The open customization toolset of Abaqus/CAE provides a powerful process automation solution, enabling specialists to deploy proven workflows across the engineering enterprise. Associative Interfaces for CATIA V5, SolidWorks, and Pro/ENGINEER enable synchronization of CAD and CAE assemblies and enable rapid model updates with no loss of user-defined analysis features.

Users can create geometry, import CAD models for meshing, or integrate geometry-based meshes that do not have associated CAD geometry. Abaqus/CAE supports familiar interactive computer-aided engineering concepts such as feature-based, parametric modeling, interactive and scripted operation, and GUI customization. The intuitive interface integrates modeling, analysis, job management, and results visualization in a consistent, easy-to-use environment that is simple to learn for new users, yet highly productive for experienced users. With Abaqus/CAE you can quickly and efficiently create, edit, monitor, diagnose, and visualize advanced Abaqus analyses.
