Structural Engineering How-To Tutorial Series for the Life Sciences Industry

Want to use your structural engineering skills to contribute to progressing the health and life sciences industry?

Now more than ever, it is important that we band together as a society to overcome the heath issues facing us today.  Our SIMULIA Academy how-to playlist on YouTube now features a fifteen-part training series for our software users to better understand how to structurally engineer a device crucial for medical professionals to administer shots and vaccines – you guessed it, this device is known as the syringe. Our state-of-the-art simulation software allows our engineers the ability to analyze a syringe’s geometry, apply forces, test materials and optimize designs before a physical prototype is produced, which leads to substantial savings in time & cost whiles ensuring design safety.

Here is a list of Syringe Series tutorials, including a brief description of what technical engineering skills you can expect to learn:
