LIVE WORKSHOP

MULTISCALE SIMULATION OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS USING ABAQUS AND PYTHON SCRIPTS

Learn the most relevant modeling techniques for composites understanding HOW and WHY

comptest 2023 workshop simulation composites abaqus python

My name is Miguel Herráez, I am an industrial engineer and Phd in Materials Science.

 

My first contact with Composite Materials was at the end of my BSc in Mechanical Engineering, performing my final project in the US (West Virginia University).

 

Thanks to my Advisor (Prof. Ever Barbero), I started to get more and more involved in that field. At that moment, I did not know that this was just the beginning.

 

I have been studying, testing and developing Finite Element (FE) simulations since 2013, when I started my Phd on numerical modeling of fiber-reinforced composites. I still remember the first years in which I had to learn very little by little about this topic on my own.

 

For that reason, I have organized this workshop with which I want you to learn the most advanced numerical strategies for the simulation of composite materials in the world today.

 

I will teach you in a few hours what I have learnt in 10 years of experience!

Frequently asked questions

You can participate at anytime along the session through the chat.

 

At the end, in the Q&A session you will be able to talk to me directly or even share your screen in case you need to.

If you want to follow the practical examples and explanations, you only need to bring your laptop with any Abaqus version installed.

 

The course is fully compatible with the Abaqus Learning Edition, so you don’t have to worry about connecting to license servers.

I will share all the materials required before the event to follow along with the explanations and concepts covered in the session.

Yes.

 

The session will be completely recorded, so that you can watch it later at anytime to study and review all the concepts addressed at your own pace.
