Two men who helped save the Apollo 13<\/a> crew 40 years ago by finding ingenious solutions to catastrophic mechanical problems will headline SolidWorks World 2011<\/a>, the world\u2019s largest gathering of the engineering and design community. Their heroics provide an inspirational example of engineering under pressure.<\/p>\n

In April 1970, more than 200,000 miles from earth, Apollo 13 sustained a sudden failure of its cryogenic oxygen system. Commander Capt. James Lovell Jr. and his crew successfully modified the craft\u2019s lunar module into an effective \u201clifeboat\u201d to provide power and water for an emergency return to earth. Gene Kranz, lead flight director, headed the ground-based \u201cTiger Team\u201d that helped coordinate the successful detour.<\/p>\n

Their actions earned Lovell and Kranz Presidential Medals of Freedom. The pair will tell their stories at SolidWorks World, which takes place Jan. 23-26, 2011, at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas. This year\u2019s event is the 13th annual gathering of customers, partners, resellers, and employees of Dassault Syst\u00e8mes (DS) SolidWorks Corp., maker of software for design, simulation, data management, technical communications, and sustainability assessment.<\/p>\n

\u201cI faced the ultimate challenge when imparting the words \u2018Houston, we have a problem,\u2019\u201d says Lovell. \u201cBut we all face challenges \u2013 some life-threatening and inescapable, others more routine. I look forward to sharing my story and learning about the unique challenges faced by DS SolidWorks\u2019 customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThroughout my career I have seen the role teamwork plays in assuring ultimate victory in any circumstances. DS SolidWorks as a team provides engineers and designers with the tools they need to build products for which, as in aeronautics, \u2018failure is not an option,\u2019\u201d says Kranz. \u201cI am interested to see firsthand how SolidWorks enables its customers to solve problems in a variety of industries.\u201d<\/p>\n

See the SolidWorks World website<\/a> for more information about this year’s\u00a0conference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
