SIMPACK Drivetrain Training

1 day training course
The course starts at 9 a.m. and ends at 5 p.m.

The SIMPACK Drivetrain training has been tailored for anyone who is
interested in simulating and analyzing drivetrains. The training is suitable for all application areas, e.g. automotive, railway, wind turbines, general machinery, etc.

Components and elements necessary for modelling all levels of drivetrain
complexity, from simple torsional models to detailed 3D models including flexible bodies are covered.

Also the various excitation mechanisms and analysis methods available
within SIMPACK will be reviewed. A prerequisite for attending the
drivetrain training is a fundamental understanding of SIMPACK which can
be obtained by attending the SIMPACK Basics training. Having previous
experience with flexible bodies in SIMPACK is also recommended.
