Unlock the full potential of composite materials with this comprehensive masterclass, designed for engineers, students, and professionals. This course takes you from the fundamentals of composite materials—including types, properties, failure modes, and real-world applications—to manufacturing processes like hand lay-up, vacuum bagging, resin transfer molding, and filament winding.
The core focus is on ANSYS Composite PrepPost (ACP), where you’ll learn how to model composite laminates, define ply orientations, simulate mechanical behavior, and evaluate stresses, deflections, thermal loads, and failure modes under different loading conditions. Whether you’re new to composites or aiming to sharpen your simulation skills, this course equips you with both the theoretical and hands-on tools needed for real-world product development and engineering projects.
What you’ll learn:
- Basics of composite materials: fiber types, matrices, and layups
- Common manufacturing methods and process selection
- Introduction to ANSYS Workbench and Composite PrepPost (ACP)
- Modeling ply stacks and defining layups in ANSYS
- Performing structural simulations on composite parts
- Interpreting results: stresses, strains, thermal effects, failure criteria (Tsai-Wu, Hashin, etc.)
- Real-world case studies, design projects, and practical engineering insight
Who this course is for:
- Mechanical, aerospace, civil, and materials engineers
- University students in engineering or applied mechanics
- Researchers and professionals working with composite materials
- Anyone interested in simulation-driven composite design and optimization
- Mechanical, aerospace, civil, and materials engineers University students in engineering or applied mechanics Researchers and professionals working with composite materials Anyone interested in simulation-driven composite design and optimization
