Transportation Summit & International LS-DYNA User Conference Call for Content 

The Ansys Transportation Summit and International LS-DYNA Conference returns in 2026 as a premier forum for innovation in mobility and safety engineering. 

We invite engineers, researchers, and simulation experts to submit their work and join a global community shaping the future of transportation. 

If your work advances crash and occupant safety, impact and structural dynamics, electrification, software-defined vehicles, materials, AI-augmented CAE, NVH, or Multiphysics applications in automotive and transportation—this is your stage. 

Present your research. Share real-world breakthroughs. Shape the technologies driving the next era of mobility. 

Submit your abstract and become part of the 2026 technical program.

Location: Saint John's Resort, Plymouth, Michigan 
Date: October 13-14, 2026 
 

Event Overview 

Automotive technology is evolving faster than ever. Vehicles are increasingly defined by software and shaped by expectations for rapid, continuous innovation. 
Simulation allows engineering teams to keep pace—accelerating development and enabling the safer, smarter, and more compelling mobility experiences consumers expect today.

The Ansys Transportation Summit and International LS-DYNA User Conference is a two-day event bringing together leaders and innovators who are shaping the future of mobility. Through technical sessions, customer case studies, hands-on workshops, and meaningful networking, we will explore critical topics including crash analysis, human body modeling, battery systems, software-defined vehicles, electronics, systems and safety engineering, NVH, optimization, and simulation-driven AI.
