New course

This course enables you to deepen your skills in advanced analysis to optimize the design of parts and assemblies. It covers key areas such as frequency analysis, buckling, fatigue, thermal analysis and impact testing, helping to anticipate mechanical stresses and improve product reliability. You'll learn how to optimize part topology to reduce weight while maintaining performance. This course is designed to help you master simulation tools and understand the physical phenomena that influence design.

the support is a little dated (SolidWorks training manual from 2012-2013), so the menus are sometimes quite different and time is spent finding equivalents in more recent versions of SolidWorks.



PARTICIPANTS
Design office technicians, draftsmen, engineers. Anyone with experience of 3D design software.

PREREQUISITES
Avoir suivi la formation « SolidWorks Simulation Calcul Base » (Réf. SWU) ou avoir des connaissances équivalentes.



TRAINER QUALIFICATIONS
The experts who lead the training courses are specialists in the subjects covered. They are approved by the publisher and certified for the course. They have also been validated by our teaching teams in terms of both professional knowledge and teaching skills for each course they teach. They have at least three to ten years of experience in their field and hold or have held positions of responsibility in companies.

ASSESSMENT TERMS
Assessment of targeted skills prior to training.
Assessment by the participant, at the end of the training course, of the skills acquired during the training course.
Validation by the trainer of the participant's learning outcomes, specifying the tools used: multiple-choice questions, role-playing exercises, etc.
At the end of each training course, ITTCERT provides participants with a course evaluation questionnaire, which is then analysed by our teaching teams. Participants also complete an official evaluation of the publisher.
An attendance sheet for each half-day of attendance is provided at the end of the training course, along with a certificate of completion if the participant has attended the entire session.
