Prerequisite: Basic Training in elasticity and a proficiency building models, solving (linear analysis) and post-processing.
This advanced 2-day course is designed to achieve the following objectives:
- Develop an understanding of the StressCheck GUI and capabilities for performing nonlinear analyses for classes of problems that simulate large strain behavior and/or material plasticity.
- How to perform a material nonlinear analysis for a single overload event using the deformation theory of plasticity
- How to perform a geometric nonlinear analysis
- For cases where there is a strong coupling between membrane and bending (Newton-Raphson)
- How to perform a load step (Margin Check) analysis
- How to set up and perform a multi-body contact analysis in which one or more parts undergoes plastic deformation
- How to set up and solve a material nonlinear problem with multiple load-unload events using the incremental theory of plasticity
This course has a 40 minute lecture on Nonlinear Analysis. The remainder of the time is hands-on, building and solving problems covering a wide range of practical applications.
ESRD offers training on-site (at your facility) or at our facility. For more information about the course, pricing, or to schedule a workshop please request a training quote.
