Simpleware will be running a series of free workshops in Perth, Sydney and Melbourne from March 23rd to April 1st 2015
These will include an overview of using the software to visualise, analyse, process and generate models from 3D image data (MRI, CT, micro-CT...). Learn how to obtain very high quality models from image data, how to integrate CAD objects with images, how to calculate effective material properties using Finite Element-based homogenisation techniques, and about exporting robust FE and CFD meshes for simulation in other software.
The workshops will also include a hands-on demonstration and opportunities to test the software's capabilities with your own data.
Workshops will be held in locations such as the University of New South Wales, the University of Sydney and the University of Melbourne, among others.
The workshops are free but pre-registration is required as places are limited.

Abstract: 'The redevelopment of the Melbourne Park Tennis Centre incorporates something not previously seen at the home of a “Grand Slam” tournament – courts on the roof of a carpark building. To determine an appropriate structural design criterion for the suspended slabs, a study was undertaken on how vibrations induced by the players and external sources would be perceived. Following testing on existing courts and undertaking real time studies on forces exerted by tennis players, a series of criteria for acceptable vibrations in the structure was developed. The structure has now been successfully used during the 2013 and 2014 Australian Open tournaments.'
