Upcoming Webinars

Thermoforming: Materials Characterization, Material Modeling, and Simulation for Better Process Outcomes

August 18, 2026

This webinar will provide attendees with a materials science-based understanding of thermoforming, blow molding, and extrusion molding processes, including the root causes of common defects such as thinning, tearing, and stress whitening. Participants will learn a complete engineering workflow—from material testing and constitutive model calibration to predictive finite element simulation—to improve process optimization, part quality, and manufacturing success.

CFD Modeling for Particle Technology & Process Development

August 27, 2026

This webinar will introduce applications of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for modeling fluid flows containing particulate media.

Adhesive Testing and Material Model Calibration for FEA of Bonded Joints

September 10, 2026

Adhesive Testing and Material Model Calibration for FEA of Bonded Joints. In this free, one-hour webinar, we will share the basics of how to develop material models for adhesives to be used in commercial finite element analysis (FEA) codes. We will cover both continuum material modeling and cohesive zone modeling.

Past Webinars

From Test Data to Accurate Simulation: Polymer Material Model Calibration for Ansys

July 16, 2026

This webinar will review different models in Ansys Mechanical to model polymers, from basic to the most advanced models. We’ll briefly review some test methods, then focus on the material models themselves.

Introduction to Abaqus Python Scripting

July 2, 2026

This webinar will introduce users to Python scripting with Abaqus, a powerful tool enabling Abaqus users to parameterize models, automate workflows, and even enable functionality that is otherwise inaccessible due to severe repeatability. In this webinar we will introduce you to Python scripting within the Abaqus environment, teach you how to get started, and showcase some basic capabilities through simple, instructive examples.

Designing Polymer Components for Thermal Environments: Failure Modes, Material Selection, and Testing

June 18, 2026

Thermal exposure is one of the leading causes of polymer component failure in service, yet material selection and design decisions often underestimate its impact. This webinar gives engineers a practical framework for evaluating thermal risk, selecting appropriate materials, and designing with confidence across a range of operating conditions.
