LUSAS for Project Reviews
Learn how to validate model input and output in LUSAS, plus troubleshoot problematic models.
Who is it for?
-
Project Managers and Senior Engineers
This course is aimed at project managers who, while not necessarily using LUSAS in their day-to-day work, nevertheless retain responsibility for the model output. -
In summary
The course consists of three sessions- How to carry out various checks to validate model input
- How to validate model output and ensure that the results are trustworthy
- How to troubleshoot a model that either doesn't give results, or whose results are unexpected
-
What will I learn about?
Analysis type
Choice of analysis category, element types, and idealisation
Checking of results
Steps to take, loadcase, reactions, deformed shape, magnitude of deformations, warnings, mesh refinement
Interrogating geometry
How to check your model input geometry
Post processing
Understanding the different post-processing features in LUSAS and interrogating results in detail
Checking attributes
How to ensure engineering attributes have the right values and are assigned to the correct parts of the model
Troubleshooting
Common issues in linear and non-linear models and how to solve them
