    Structural Simulation: Modeling Contact in Implicit Analysis

    Understanding the interaction between bodies is essential for solving many engineering problems. This course covers many techniques and guidelines for solving challenging contact problems in implicit analysis procedures. Participants are given a brief overview of the contact formulation and contact logic used in 3DEXPERIENCE®. The hands-on workshops provide ample opportunity to use the concepts developed in the lectures and to learn how to postprocess the results of a contact analysis.
