3DEXPERIENCE SIMULIA: Composite Structures Simulation Essentials
This course is an introduction to composites simulation with the Structural Scenario or Mechanical Scenario Creation apps
OVERVIEW
CLASSROOM LENGTH: 1.5 days
INSTRUCTOR-LED ONLINE LENGTH: 3 days
PREREQUISITES: Structural Simulation Essentials
DESCRIPTION: Composite materials are used in many design applications because of their high stiffness-to-weight ratios. This course is an introduction to composites simulation with the Structural Scenario or Mechanical Scenario Creation apps on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Composite Layups and Sections are also covered, with hands-on exercises using either Structural Model Creation app or Composites Design app depending on your assigned role.
