The Response Dynamics course offers training in the use of Response Simulation for analysis of mechanical components subjected to dynamic loads. In addition the course covers the general theory and methods behind the software and the consideration important to accurate results such as modal sufficiency. The course also provides opportunities for hands-on practice with NX Response Simulation software. A variety of examples will be used to demonstrate typical approaches for problems with transient, sinusoidal, shock and random excitations. Class participants are invited to submit examples of problems.
