Length: 2 days

Prerequisites: Must have attended the basic SolidWorks Simulation class, or must have an experience with SolidWorks + working basic knowledge of finite elements and of basic mechanical principles.

Description: This class will raise your SolidWorks Simulation FEA skills to the next level! It offers hands-on experience on the use of SolidWorks Simulation Premium nonlinear module. The 2-day course provides an overview on a wide range of nonlinear structural/mechanical analysis topics. You will learn how to deal with models that exhibit large displacements and/or yielding, discuss and practice the use of many material models available in SolidWorks Simulation and, most importantly, how to drive a non-linear analysis to successful completion.

Who Should Attend: Designed for users who would like to become productive fast, the nonlinear course offers hands-on experience on the use of SolidWorks Simulation nonlinear module. The two-day course provides an overview on a wide range of nonlinear structural/mechanical analysis topics
