3DEXPERIENCE SIMULIA Structural Simulation Essentials

An introduction to SIMULIA structural simulation on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform

Take this course

Training Course Overview

This course is an introduction to structural simulation on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform using the Structural Scenario Creation or Mechanical Scenario Creation app.

The basics of Finite Element Modeling with the Structural Model Creation app and post processing with the Physics Results Explorer app are included to provide an end-to-end view of the simulation process. You can use geometry imported/created on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform or designed with SOLIDWORKS.

Training Promotion

Group/Public Training

Receive training as a group (limited amount per class) from certified instructors using vendor approved training content and methodologies.

Training is delivered either live online or in a traditional classroom environment.

Advantages
  • Cost effective training method.
  • More effective than video based training, with videos learners are often not as focused on the training and skip exercises.
  • Learn more through group questions and feedback.
3DEXPERIENCE Onsite Training

Private Training

This style of flexible training is perfect for teams or individuals who are faced with a specific challenge and require personalized courses with on-the-job coaching.
