Training
For a more detailed description of the capabilities of this solution please visit the official website.
These possibilities are pushing more and more companies to experiment and integrate this technology into their simulation process.
Code_aster TRAINING
We propose a training offer dedicated to the users of the finite element calculation software Code_Aster, developed by the R & D department of EDF.
This software designed to be generalist and multiphysics is a tool commonly used in several fields:
Civil Engineering
Precision Engineering
Naval Engineering
Materials Science
etc.
The courses offered are aimed at several profiles: from the beginner in the numerical simulation to the expert who wants an advanced solution.
A basic knowledge of structural mechanics is advised (if necessary, a preparatory module can be provided upstream of the software training).
Each training is available in two formats: in situ at the Customer's premises or, alternatively, at the premises provided by the Sceaux Smart organization (dedicated room) at :
10 rue Gaston Lévy
92330 Sceaux
France
Organisation
Depending on the number of participants, one or two trainers will be on hand to help during the practical work.
The trainers have at least 10 years of experience in the field of the simulation with Code_Aster and expertise in the industrial applications.
We can provide the whole training program in different languages: English, French, Italian, German
Dates and pricing can be available on request.
Our organism is present in the Data Dock reference list
basic program
The organization of the training can be personalized according to the available time, the field of application, the level of the participants and the arguments of interest.
