Professionals of the TTE Engineering and R+D Management Departments have attended the "Computer simulation of structures and solids in industrial practices - Nonlinearities" seminar conducted by SIM&TEC S.A. from June 28 to July 1, and taught by Ph.D. Eduardo N. Dvorkin, Ph.D. Eng. Rita G. Toscano and Ph.D. Eng. Marcela B. Goldschmit.

Today, computer simulation of structures and solids in general constitutes an essential tool for industrial applications, whether for the development of new processes and products, or the enhancement of existing ones. Normally, simulations include different types of nonlinearities, which must be considered in order for the results to adequately reflect the physics of the technological issue under study.

Through this training, TTE aims at strengthening the skills of its professionals and provide them with tools to properly choose simulation options, understand how calculation algorithms work to solve possible convergence problems and analyze the quality of results and the available alternatives for improvement, thus enhancing the models that may be used as actual technological development tools.
