This training module focuses on how to improve quasi-static models that are solved using transient Explicit Dynamics. Such solutions are used on highly nonlinear and challenging problems that show poor convergence behavior (or will not converge at all) with traditional implicit solution techniques. However, Explicit Dynamics solutions can create noise and aliasing problems that most FEA analysts are unaware of and ill-equipped to address properly. This class clearly outlines the DSP-related issues that can exist, and demonstrates strategies and techniques to handle them, ultimately resulting is significantly improved quasi-static solutions. This training is recommended for anyone using Explicit Dynamics techniques to solve challenging quasi-static problems, or for those interacting with such results.
Ted Diehl is a fantastic instructor with lots of practical use case examples. I highly recommend his classes to anyone postprocessing Explicit FEA simulation results!

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.

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.
