About the Course
This training is meant for engineers responsible for designing thermoforming processes of auto interior parts (instrument panels, acoustic liners…) or packages. 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
Be able to model, analyze results and optimize through simulation: Standard injection or infusion processes considering thermal effects including preheating and curing processes. Be able to identify required data and to determine proper assumptions for simulations.
