Crash analysis course in Sweden

Advanced training class in impact analysis in LS-DYNA, taught by Paul du Bois, 20 - 23 Nov.. Linköping, Sweden

This very popular course is taught by Paul du Bois. Paul du Bois has a very long experience from crash FE analyses and has been consulting for all leading automotive companies. It has been said that every serious LS-DYNA user should attend this course at least once.

The number of attendee is limited to 12.

This course is intended for the LS-DYNA user working on impact problems, and in particular on crashworthiness problems. The course gives a guideline on how to set up the often complex FE models, how to chose the element types, material models, contact interfaces etc. Many common pitfalls are discussed and solutions for their elimination are given.

Prior knowledge: Attendees are expected to have a basic understanding of the
finite element method and LS-DYNA.

Location, duration: 4 days, 20 - 23 November 2012, Lonköping, Sweden

Extras: One evening meal/dinner is included for courses given in Linköping.
