Custom On-Site Courses

FEMtools is an advanced technical software product that requires training and guidance to fully exploit its potential. In addition to our scheduled courses, we offer custom-tailored courses that will be adapted to the level of experience and former training of the participants. These courses can be provided at the DDS offices in Leuven (Belgium), at FEMtools Solutions Partners locations, or on-site.

The following courses are examples of custom software training courses:

  • Introduction to FEMtools Model Updating (2 or 3 days) - This course is intended for new FEMtools end users, simulation project leaders, and modal test project leaders. Participants will not only learn the basic principles of test-analysis correlation and finite element model updating, but also get hands-on experience using the graphical user interface, command scripts and program scripts for typical applications.
  • FEMtools Model Updating - Advanced Users Course - This custom tailored course provides an overview of the advanced features of FEMtools, and an introduction to programming in FEMtools. Applications that are important for the audience will be discussed in detail.
  • Introduction to Programming in FEMtools Script - This course is intended for advanced FEMtools users who want to learn and use the FEMtools script programming language and the FEMtools API function library to customize FEMtools, develop their own tools, integrate in-house analysis and test software or to develop new applications.

General Information on Courses

During all courses, the FEMtools software will be extensively used for hands-on exercises during approximately half of the time. Participants are invited to bring a portable computer to use during the hands-on exercises.

The course language is English. In some countries, courses are provided by a FEMtools Solutions Partner in the local language.
