Short Course Training

We offer unique short-course solutions for Engineers, Scientists, and Researchers that work with:

  • Nonlinear, noisy, messy, and/or transient data from physical measurements and/or numerical simulations
  • FEA software such as Abaqus, Ansys, LS-Dyna or similar
  • Challenging physical test measurements ranging from shock/impact to messy nonlinear material measurements

Dr. Ted Diehl leads all seminars live, offering his 35+ years of nonlinear structural mechanics experience applied to solving important industrial and research problems. Training services can be delivered virtually via the web or in-person on-site. We can also create a custom training solution for your organization’s specific needs.

We offer a 20% four-module bundle special and additional online group-volume discounts — see our Upcoming Training Sessions page for details.

Measuring Mechanical & Pyro Shock

This multi-day, in-person course, held in Buffalo, NY, or at an alternative location, provides comprehensive training on achieving successful shock measurement. The course covers essential aspects of obtaining and processing accurate physical measurements in challenging environments characterized by severe mechanical shock and pyroshock.

Using Advanced Energy Methods to Enhance Test & Simulation Data Analysis

This training seminar teaches how to use energy quantities (external work, internal energy, frictional dissipation, inelastic energy, artificial energy, etc.) and derivatives of such energy quantities to significantly enhance your analysis methods.

Testimonials

A standout aspect of the training was Ted’s ability to quickly grasp the essence of a problem from a short explanation and offer practical, insightful recommendations. His deep understanding and real-time problem-solving made the experience incredibly valuable.
— Blace J., Engineer, Picatinny Arsenal
Dr. Diehl’s training is essential for engineers handling dynamic measurements across simulation and physical testing. It bridges modelers and instrumentation teams, distills best practices for data acquisition/processing, and equips users to process both simulation results and sensor data.
— Christopher Stout, Ph.D. Chief — Engineering Analysis and Evaluation Division, Picatinny Arsenal
This DSP seminar should be mandatory for every explicit dynamics user. Ted is a great lecturer. I have attended many seminars over the years; I believe Ted’s was one of, if not the most useful. Looking back to all the things I did with Explicit, I know now that they could have been done better had I had the knowledge provided by the class...
