ABOUT THE PRESENTERS

Gerrit Visser has a wide range of practical experience in simulation, design and optimization of linear, non-linear and dynamic structural systems. He obtained his B.Eng (Mech) degree in 1996 at the University of Pretoria and finished his Honors studies in 1998 focusing on Control Systems. After finishing 2 years at Kentron (Denel Dynamics) focusing on fine mechanics he started in November 2000 at MSC-Africa which became ESTEQ Engineering and is now known as SIMTEQ Engineering.

As a support engineer, he gained over the last 11 years abundant insight in supporting and training clients in a wide variety of engineering fields in structural and thermal Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Specific fields of application in FEA include: linear- and nonlinear-statics and - dynamics, thermal calculations, modal reduction methods, etc.

With more than a total of 65 combined years of experience in using FEA and more than 40 years of experience teaching and supporting customers, the SIMTEQ team consolidated their knowledge and experience to provide a relevant and practical course that will save you time and money and give your results credibility.

PREREQUISITES

A basic knowledge of computational fluid dynamics is desirable. 

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

  • "The friendliness of the instructors and the rest of the staff was exceptional. The training was thorough and covered a lot of key aspects to kick-start one into efficient usage of NX within the time of training.
    The lessons were engaging and to-the-point.    PS: The food was very good as well.    " - Theo van der Berg, WJ Engineering
  • "The course is well presented. I also enjoy the focus on the limitation of FEM.It was one of the better courses I've attended in recent years." - Jannie Potgieter, Booyco Egnineering
  • "Excellent course. Gives the basics of FEM and the possible shortfalls." - Mohamed Jogiat, Transnet
