Upcoming Webinars

Adhesive Testing and Material Model Calibration for FEA of Bonded Joints

September 28, 2023

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.

Advanced DMA Methods: Using Time-Temperature Superposition

October 19, 2023

In this free, one-hour webinar, we will share the basics of a how dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) instrument can be used to measure the temperature- and time-dependent properties of materials. We will then discuss time-temperature superposition, a technique for extrapolating the mechanical response of polymers to very long times or very high frequencies.

High Rate Testing of Polymers for Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

November 16, 2023

In this free, one-hour webinar, we will discuss the importance of rate dependence of polymers, methods to measure material response at quasi-static and impact strain rates, and how to use this data to inform and optimize your component design.

Past Webinars

MCalibration®: Inverse Calibration

October 27, 2020

This half-hour, web-based class offers an overview of using inverse calibrations in MCalibration. This course will review how to set up MCalibration to run an inverse calibration, extract the data, and run the calibration. We will use hands-on exercises with example test data to demonstrate key concepts.

Polymer Testing for Finite Element Modeling

November 12, 2020

This web-based class will present advanced material testing methods targeting material characterization for Finite Element (FE) modeling. We will discuss designing a test plan, understanding limitations of different test and measurement systems, and how to take your experimental data out of the lab and into your FE model.

Introduction to Abaqus Python Scripting

May 18, 2023

This new, web-based class 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 class 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.
