Level: Advanced In-company course: Yes  

This training allows participants to deepen their knowledge of the nonlinear mechanics of materials, using the finite element method for large deformations, with the Z-set software and its Z-mat material library.

Z-set_structural_non-linear_analysis2This course introduces the formulations commonly used to model behavior laws under large deformations. It highlights the theoretical distinctions between these approaches and their application to structural calculations. This training is intended for engineers who wish to perform structural calculations beyond the scope of small deformations, particularly for large rotations and deformations.

Goals:

  • Mastering the formulations for large deformations widely used in finite element codes
  • Setting up data preparation for large deformation calculations (choice of finiteelement formulation and behavior law).
  • Comparing and interpreting results obtained with different large deformation
    formulations.
  • Identifying a behavior law under large deformations, considering both material and geometric nonlinearities.
  • Implementing a behavior law under large deformations with Z-set (implicit/explicit integration of the behavior law, consistent tangent operator).
