Overview
This training course is available to ANSYS users. ANSYS, Inc. teams with Axel Products, Inc. to offer this course that covers material testing, material modeling and finite element analysis of elastomers.
Students will perform laboratory tests on material samples and then learn how to use the test data in their analysis using ANSYS Mechanical.
This training class is held at the Axel Products facility in Ann Arbor, MI which is located at:
Axel Products, Inc.
2255 S. Industrial Hwy.
Ann Arbor MI 48104
The cost to attend this 3-day course is $2,500.
