Summary

Gain an understanding of the fundamental aspects pertaining to design and analysis of composites, through the product lifecycle.

A major issue companies find is not knowing the rules of thumb around composites and their use. This course covers those aspects and how to appropriately idealise composite structures based on the desired outcome.

You will walk away from this course with knowledge that allows you to efficiently use tools for the purposes of design and analysis.

这是一个非常详细和互动training that gives a clear understanding of manufacturing processes, how to define repair schemes, how to tailor properties to efficient designs, composite material behaviour, how composite materials can fatigue, and post processing finite element results.

There are varying objectives based on the modules offered around composite design and analysis.
