Webinar on Finite Element Modeling of Soft Actuators and Devices

NAFEMS WebinarDr. Nikolaos Vasios presents an insightful webinar on modeling soft actuators and soft devices, unravelling the nonlinear relationship between input stimulus and actuator functionality. In this webinar, we will explore how finite element analysis (FEA) serves as a powerful design and optimization tool for soft actuators. You’ll learn how informed FEA can provide insight into nonlinear phenomena and address complex multiphysics challenges. Through real-world examples, this session will demonstrate how simulation can dramatically reduce the need for physical prototyping while accelerating innovation in soft robotics. Please join him on October 21, 2025 for this webinar.
