Tire Simulation Workflows with Endurica
September 22
$495.00
This one day workshop reviews Endurica workflows for simulating aspects of tire performance including self-heating, rolling resistance, high-speed, durability, ageing and oxidation.
Offered for the first time in the United States in conjunction with the Tire Society 44th Annual Conference. Come in a day early – join us on Monday, September 22, 2025
Intro to the Endurica toolbox
- CL: Infinite life analysis
