Who it is for
This is an advanced seminar for users who are already familiar with the native Abaqus/CAE composites modeling functionality.
Prerequisites
The Analysis of Composite Materials with Abaqus course is recommended as a prerequisite. At the very least, attendees should be familiar with the Abaqus/CAE composite layup functionality. Attendees should also be comfortable post-processing the results of composites simulations using Abaqus/CAE. An understanding of how composites are manufactured is also helpful.
