Training

We provide here the information on the training performed in the framework of the FIBRE4YARDS project.

  • Tdyn-RamSeries performed by Daniel Sá López and Joel Jurado Granados (CompassIS) on the 29th of November 2023

The second training session can be watched here.

The presentation is available here.

Among dissemination and training activities, CompassIS provides a validated version of the analysis computational tools (which will be mostly integrated in the Tdyn FEM environment). Also, the task involves producing validation models, benchmarks, and the corresponding documentation, together with the training sessions.

Even though these works have already been performed, CompassIS finds it useful to complete the training tasks by providing a second, more advanced training session, in order to show the advanced capabilities of the software. Furthermore, in this second training, advanced usage of FEA applied to FRP marine structures is addressed and shown by means of an example case.

Given that this type of training is included among the FIBREGY project, and that some of the partners are involved in both projects, it has been considered as optimum to host a joint session for this training.

The contents of this training session are the following:

  • Quick review of software download, installation, user password validation, and general preferences of the GUI
  • Specific FRP laminate materials capacities overview
  • FIBREGY/ FIBRE4YARDS specific capacities and tools overview
  • Dynamic FEA fundamentals. Fatigue Damage Assessment
  • Application Example 1
  • Application Example 2

  • Tdyn-RamSeries performed by Daniel Sá López (CompassIS) on the 27th of January 2022

This first training session can be watched here.

The main goal of this training session on Tdyn-RamSeries software was to provide an overview of the main capacities of the code, as well as of the particular features related to the tasks involving FEA simulation and design/engineering activities. Some of those specific features were not ready by the time of the session, and therefore they will be covered in detail in a second, more advanced training session towards the end of the project.

Furthermore, in this first training, basic usage of FEA applied to FRP marine structures was addressed and shown by means of an example case.

The contents of this training session are the following:

  • Software download, installation and user password validation
  • General preferences of the GUI
  • Capacities overview and data tree arrangement
  • CAD models import/export (standard and native formats)
  • Repairing and preparation for FEM meshing
  • Layers and geometry management
  • FEA model fundamentals: assignment of materials’ properties,loads and boundary conditions
  • Basic meshing procedures. Mesh requirements and convergence of the solution
  • Linear static, linear dynamic and non-linear dynamic analyses
  • Results and post processing (example model)
