This course is designed for engineers involved in structural and mechanical design of material-handling and agricultural equipment, including those working on load frames, hopper and skip design, bucket and boom mechanisms, and structural assessment under impact loading from bulk granular materials. No prior simulation experience is required, though a working knowledge of basic mechanical engineering principles is assumed.
Fully online. Participants connect remotely to dedicated high-performance workstations hosted at the Collaborative Simulation Lab, Harper Adams University. Each workstation is pre-configured with all software, geometry, and material parameter files required for the course. Maximum 8 participants.
