  1. Numerical Simulation in Accordance with Geotechnical Design Codes

    Advantages to verifying ultimate limit state (ULS) by numerical simulation include the checking of multiple failure forms that are not pre-determined and more accurate constitutive modelling. However, geotechnical simulation is particularly challenging due to the high non-linearity of ground constitutive behaviour and interactions with stiff structures. The next generation of the European geotechnical design standard Eurocode 7 will be the first to cover numerical simulation specifically and this webinar will provide an overview of the new rules and the reasoning behind them, together with worked examples....more

  2. Incorporation of Product and System Optimization (PSO) Methods into Compact, Reliable Design Cycles

    Product and System Optimisation Incorporation of Product and System Optimization (PSO) Methods into Compact, Reliable Design Cycles Workshop Description This workshop is concerned with educational & awareness issues, including identifying barriers to successful uptake of emerging and relatively mature technologies. The workshop will be structured into two parts, a discussion session where issues are identified and technical presentations where specific methods are presented along with summaries of state of the art. The technical focus for this workshop is Design of Experiments and Response Surface Analysis. The workshop will also address the following questions: • What are the...more

  3. How to Effectively Communicate Innovative Ideas

    How do I make sure management understand my results? How can I present technical information to non-technical colleagues? How do I make my conference presentation really stand-out? Get the answers to these questions and more with this transformative course. Using techniques and materials which have been adopted by many of the major companies in the engineering analysis and simulation industry, this course will supercharge your communication skills and give you a unique advantage. How to Effectively Communicate Innovative Ideas You’re the expert. The thing is, many of the people making final decisions on hardware and software investments, and signing-off your final designs, are not. You need...more
