This training course deals intensively with the metallurgical fundamentals of sheet metal materials. This will be followed by an introduction to the fundamentals of FEM simulation of sheet metal materials.
Detailed contents of the individual lectures can be found in the respective lecture. If you have any further questions about the content, please feel free to contact us at any time.
Speakers:
Speakers from the institute and practitioners from the companies will train you and your employees in a small group with a limited number of participants. Questions, suggestions and technical discussions are also possible and welcome in this virtual training format.
Target Group:
- Engineers,
- master craftsmen,
- technicians and toolmakers from the fields of "tool design", "method planning" and "forming simulation".
Previous Knowledge required:
The "Experts FEM" training series teaches material-specific and numerical expertise in sheet metal forming. Previous knowledge from the seminar "Fundamentals of Sheet Metal Forming" or professional experience in the field of sheet metal forming is recommended.
Costs: The following rates are offered for the Training Course:
Morning event: 280 €* per participant
*Exclusive 10% discount for members of FORUM Umformtechnik Stuttgart e.V.
