Product catalog summary
Course Overview
This brochure outlines the e-Xstream Material Education Series, designed for engineers in automotive and aerospace sectors, R&D departments, and academia. The series includes five courses focusing on material mechanics, nonlinear finite elements, composite testing, transitioning from metal to plastics, and injection molding for thermoplastics.
Course Details
  • MES-1: Deep Dive into Material Mechanics
    Instructors: Pr. I. Doghri & Dr. L. Adam
    Focuses on selecting appropriate material models for accurate simulations, understanding composite material modeling challenges, and training on multi-scale material modeling solutions.
  • MES-2: Introduction to Nonlinear Finite Elements
    Instructor: Pr. J-P. Ponthot
    Covers nonlinear formulations in continuum mechanics, finite element methods, and applications in large and small deformation analysis.
  • MES-3: Composite Testing, Allowable and Certification
    Instructor: Pr. W. Seneviratne
    Provides guidance on composite material control, design values, and certification processes to accelerate material application in new technologies.
  • MES-4: From Metal to Plastics (Digimat)
    Instructor: Dr. B. Alsteens
    Teaches the benefits of replacing metal with composites, advanced material modeling, and considering manufacturing processes in structural performance.
  • MES-5: Injection Molding for Thermoplastic
    Instructor: Pr. V. Leo
    Focuses on polymer behavior, injection molding processes, and designing for minimal warpage and optimal part quality.
Pricing
Course fees vary for universities and industries, with discounts for multiple attendees. University fees range from 600€ to 900€ per attendee, while industry fees range from 1500€ to 1800€.
Certification
Participants will be evaluated on course topics, and successful candidates will receive a diploma.
