3DEXPERIENCE SIMULIA: Structural Simulation Essentials

Learn about structural simulation on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform using the Structural Scenario Creation app

OVERVIEW

CLASSROOM LENGTH:  3 days

INSTRUCTOR-LED ONLINE LENGTH:  6 days


PREREQUISITES:  Experience with physics simulation is strongly recommended


DESCRIPTION:  This SIMULIA course is an introduction to structural simulation on the 3DEXPERIENCE® platform using the Structural Scenario Creation app. You will learn the basics of Finite Element Modeling with the Structural Model Creation app and post-processing with the Physics Results Explorer app. Including these elements provides an end-to-end view of the simulation process. You can use geometry imported/created on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform or design with SOLIDWORKS.
