About the Course
This training is meant for engineers responsible for designing manufacturing processes such as thermoforming of prepreg or draping of dry textiles. This training relies on PowerPoint presentation and practical use cases executed on workstation. This training will allow the trainee to confidently create simulation models.
Audience
CAE engineers, Process engineers, Material engineers, Designers
Course Objective
Understand material models for dry textiles or prepregs. Be able to model, analyze results and optimize through simulation standard forming / thermoforming processes. Be able to identify required data and determine proper assumptions for simulations.
