Course Outline:

RADIOSS has established itself worldwide, as a major nonlinear solver that is used in automotive industry, aerospace and mechanical engineering field. With a variety of nonlinear material and failure models, fully automatic contacts and a large number of features RADIOSS helps in predicting crash-, impact- and forming problems. This two-day training provides further, in-depth information for users who already have experience in dealing with the non-linear simulation with RADIOSS. Using a variety of exercises, important and advanced features of RADIOSS are discussed and practiced.
