Learn about an intuitive Design Simulation solution for Designers looking for efficient product performance assessment under linear static conditions to guide the design process.

Getting Started with Physics Simulation 

This interactive course is intended for on-demand learning and is the prerequisite for many physics simulation courses (if you are new to using the 3DEXPERIENCE platform). Using physics simulation apps on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform requires a baseline knowledge of how to log in to the platform, use 3DSearch to find and filter data, explore the data and manage maturity for the purpose of collaboration. The 3DEXPERIENCE native (desktop) apps and web interfaces (including dashboards) will be introduced in this course.

📌 Search for and explore physical products and simulation objects
📌 Manage maturity of data on the platform, track revisions, and delete example data
📌 Configure preferences and settings

Structural Simulation Essentials

This course is an introduction to structural simulation on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform using the Structural Scenario Creation or Mechanical Scenario Creation app. The basics of Finite Element Modeling with the Structural Model Creation app and post processing with the Physics Results Explorer app are included to provide an end-to-end view of the simulation process. You can use geometry imported/created on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform or designed with SOLIDWORKS.

Key Concepts Covered:
📌 Create complete Finite Element models for structural and thermal simulations
📌 Perform structural (linear and nonlinear; statics and dynamics) and thermal simulations
📌 View and evaluate simulation results

Practice SIMULIA Physics Simulation Review

This course teaches you how to view lightweight simulation data with the Physics Simulation Review widget in the 3DEXPERIENCE
platform dashboard interface. If the native apps user has generated experience content, the reviewer will be able to browse: the mesh,
material assignments, scenario content (such as loads and restraints), and results. Results display can include contour plots,
streamlines, sensors and charts. You can animate these lightweight results and change way objects in the plots are displayed.

Key Concepts Covered:
📌 Generate experience content for the lightweight simulation viewers
📌 Perform lightweight visualization through web browsers

Practice SIMULIA Linear Structural Validation

This course is an introduction to structural and thermal simulations for engineers and designers with the Linear Structural Validation app on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. It teaches you how to solve linear structural analyses in preparation for evaluating the performance of products during the product development stage.

Key Concepts Covered:
📌 Search for and open simulation data in the database
📌 Perform a structural/frequency and thermal simulations
📌 Review simulations stored in a database and generate reports

3DEXPERIENCE Structural Designer - Associate

This certification validates your knowledge and skills on the Structural Designer role within the 3DEXPERIENCE SIMULIA physics simulation environment. You will be asked multiple-choice questions (MCQ) on physics simulations using the Linear Structural Validation app.

3DEXPERIENCE Simulation Primer for Abaqus/CAE Users

This 1-day course is intended to help experienced Abaqus/CAE users transition to simulation on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. The course provides a high-level introduction to the complete simulation workflow on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, and for each step compares back to the approach in Abaqus/CAE, allowing users to leverage their existing knowledge, whilst highlighting some key advantages of simulation on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

Key Concepts Covered:
📌 Leverage Abaqus/CAE knowledge to start to navigate the 3DEXPERIENCE platform
📌 Understand key differences in the simulation workflow on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform
📌 Create and run a simulation and evaluate the simulation results
