Duration

8 hours

Language

Tutor

Dario D'Agostino

Description

The objective of the course is the in-depth study of the types of contact used in explicit simulation, in order to allow the analyst to consciously choose the type of contact to be used in each situation. In addition to the various types of contact, the parameters necessary for their definition will be analyzed in detail, both those strictly necessary (mandatory) and optional ones to optimize simulation times and resolve any calculation problems. During the course, application examples will be presented and specific workshops will be held. The examples presented during the course will mainly be carried out using the LS-Dyna solver.

Target Audience

CAE analyst with knowledge of CAE explicit simulations.

Pre-requisites

Theoretical knowledge of the finite element method and the use of LS-PrePost or other pre and post processors are essential.
