Crash, Impact and Occupant Safety
Get started with Virtual Performance Solution
Reference: CRS-VP-B

Level: Basic
Duration: 2-3 days (see local schedule for details)
Audience: CAE engineers, designers and specialists in structura l crash
Objectives: Learn to perform basic linear and non linear static analysis, linear modal dynamic analysis and non linear dynamic impact simulations using Virtual Performance Solution.
Prerequisites:

Basic knowledge of the Finite Element method
Description: This course is an introduction to both explicit and implicit methods and to Virtual Performance Solution. Participants learn the different steps to perform a basic static and dynamic simulation. The focus is on practical exercises. A global overview of the capabilities of the code, illustrated by industrial applications, is presented.
