Integrate nonlinearities into your analyses with Altair Optistruct™
While remaining in the static field, this training developed by our engineers will provide answers on the impact of nonlinear materials and contact with friction on your mechanical systems. The best practices of convergence will be discussed.
Pre-requisites
Engineers working with OptiStruct or having in-depth knowledge on a similar solver (Nastran, Abaqus, Ansys). 'Introduction to linear analysis with OptiStruct' training is a recommended prerequisite for this seminar.
Training objectives
- Know and understand the different nonlinearities
- Understand the maps necessary for their modelling
- Know how to generate nonlinear analysis data, analyse it, and correct it
- Post-process nonlinear results
