Altair Engineering Domain Workshop Series

Workshop on WHO MAY BENEFIT

Lifing of Mechanical
Components
INTRODUCTION
Modern day designs demand a quick design cycle and
THE VIBRATION INSTITUTE OF INDIA reduced testing time through simulation. Because of this, it
ADVANTAGES OF THE WORKSHOP
(www.tvi-in.com) is becoming necessary to incorporate lifing of all critical
components before prototype build up and testing.
and Moreover, the present day designs are all made light in
weight and take the critical components into globally
elastic and locally plastic conditions. This workshop
addresses the issues with such advanced designs involved
with multiphysics problems in solids, fluids, heat transfer,
vibrations…
Design Engineers, who will be well equipped with
underlying principles for making accurate life
estimation and provide optimally designed structures
for advanced machinery.
Illustrate a typical domain, a turbomachine and
understand what is involved.
Learn Stress Basics – Codes are as good as they are
written based on basic theories – they are not super
humans; they are your slaves and you have to drive
them and interpret the results
