Over 5 weeks in a 2 hour session each week, from the 20st of October till 17th of November, Simuleon will hold an Online Training with live broadcasting. The training is called "Obtaining a converged solution with Abaqus"".

This course provides a useful insight in the theoretic backgrond of how non-linear problems are solved. You will learn how to develop models that will converge. You will learn to identify modeling errors that cause models to experience convergence difficulties. After this training you will be able to recognize when a problem is too difficult or too ill-posed to be solved effectively.

Let’s start with a problem:

“A ladder hangs over the side of a ship anchored in port. The bottom rung of the ladder touches the water. The ladder is 30 cm wide and 270 cm long. The rungs are 1 cm thick and the distance between them is 34 cm. If the tide is rising at a rate of 15cm per hour, how long will it be before the water reaches the top rung?”
