This course introduces structural and thermal simulation with the Mechanical Scenario Creation app on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. It teaches you how to solve both linear and nonlinear static and dynamics problems (including implicit dynamics and explicit dynamics procedures).

Course objectives:

Upon completion of this course you will be able to:

– Perform structural simulations (linear and nonlinear; statics and dynamics)

– Perform thermal simulations

– View and evaluate simulation results

Topics Covered:

  • Overview – Mechanical Scenario Creation Essentials
  • 1 – Getting Started with Simulation Scenarios

  • 2 – Steps and Static Simulations
  • 3 – Loads, Restraints, and Initial Conditions
  • 4 – Interactions
  • 5 – Running Simulations and Postprocessing
  • 6 – Dynamic Simulations
  • 7 – Nonlinear Dynamics
  • 8 – Quasi-static Simulations
  • 9 – Heat Transfer Simulation
