Wednesday, May 4: CarSim 2016 Hands-on Training
New Horizons Learning Centers
14115 Farmington Rd.
Livonia MI 48154 USA
Mechanical Simulation will conduct two separate full-day (9am-5pm) training session with CarSim 2016:
| Session A: Introductory CarSim Training | This session will be led by Mechanical Simulation’s own Ben Duprey. This session will entail a step-by-step, hands-on introduction to CarSim in an effort to familiarize novice users with the software and its core capabilities. Mechanical Simulation’s staff will be available to answer questions during this session. |
| Session B: Advanced Topics in Vehicle Dynamics | This session will be led by Mechanical Simulation’s own David Hall, and will explore some of the more advanced, value-added applications of the VehicleSim product suite. It will include a segment focused on tire simulation that will feature TASS International’s Willem Versteden. The technical topics will be followed by hands-on time to exercise the software, and Mechanical Simulation’s staff will circulate to answer questions. |
