Training on the topic of materials & material models
Our more than 60 training courses on structural mechanics have been thematically subdivided for you. On this page, we would like to present our training courses on the topic of “material simulation”.
- Want to correctly define requirements for your product and select the best possible material from comprehensive parameter data? Our training will demonstrate how you can derive material properties from product requirements and find suitable materials in a structured and reliable manner.
- Do you deal with the simulation of composite materials, elastomer components or metals? Numerical simulation is the key to developing an optimal composite structure without elaborate test series and high reject rates. Our training course will show you how to evaluate multi-layered fiber composites and how to select and fit appropriate material models as well as how to model reinforcements and confined fluids. You will also learn about the realistic representation of metallic material behavior and typical building blocks of plastic strength verification.
- Want to program your own user-defined models for creep, hyperelasticity, friction, plasticity or wear? When standard functionalities are no longer sufficient, powerful tools are available for this purpose. You will also learn how to program user-defined hyperelasticity models in our expert-level training courses.
For more than 35 years, we have been designing and supporting the introduction and expansion of simulation with our customers. With our extensive training and continuing education program, we would like to pass on our experience to you.
