Make the most of Endurica’s simulation workflows and learn to use Endurica CL, Endurica DT, and Endurica EIE
Learn the Endurica software workflows to virtually evaluate fatigue performance and solve design issues at the concept stage. Attendees have returned to their firms and revolutionized their design processes by using the software to diagnose and solve fatigue issues.
Endurica’s live, online training brings world-class knowledge to the comfort of your home/office!
The key workshop for understanding and wielding the power of Endurica’s workflow is presented live online in an updated format for 2023. The Application of Rubber Fatigue Analysis with Endurica Software Workshop comes to you virtually, introducing you to Endurica’s workflows and software solutions in the comfort of your home or office. (No travel required!) Do not let your busy schedule hold you back from registering — we send a link to of the recorded presentation of each class to registrants for their reference/review. These links are active for seven days after the class date so you will have time to review the information and/or make up classes you are not able to attend live. Additionally, Dr. Mars is available every class day for “office hours” so you can talk with the instructor privately about your questions and your company’s specific needs.
