DEFORM Advanced
DEFORM® is an engineering software that enables designers to analyse metal forming, heat treatment, machining, and mechanical joining processes on the computer rather than the shop floor. This course will cover a selection of advanced topics, DEFORM modules and specialised operation templates. Course can vary from 1-2 days (The price advertised is for 1 day)
Description
Who Should Attend?
Users of DEFORM software looking to further develop their skills and undertake more advanced simulation applications.
Prerequisites
It is expected that delegates with have attended the DEFORM Introduction training course, and are already comfortable with basic operation of the system and have some experience using the software on projects.
Note that users interested in a particular operation template or software capability will need to be licensed with the appropriate add-on module or DEFORM Premier.
Agenda
Course can vary from 1-2 days (the price advertised is for 1 day).
Content will be determined by attendees needs.
