Saturday and Sunday, See classes for schedule
A Two-Day Intensive Seminar/Workshop.
Conducted by: MARTIN HOLLMANN, M.S.

This seminar is intended for all aircraft designers who have an interest and a need to solve subsonic aerodynamic flutter problems using a PC. Learn the steps for solving flutter problems starting by setting up a finite element analysis model using EMRC NISA of the aircraft lifting surfaces and entering modal and frequency data for the Subsonic Aerodynamic Flutter Program called SAF. Participant will work in teams of two per PC and each participant will receive a full blown copy of NISA program, 1,000 DOF that is not time limited.
Seminar includes:
COMPUTER PROGRAMS for the PC using Windows 2000:
NISA Finite Element Analysis Program:
Set up structural models of wing using NISA and solve for eigenvalues and mode shapes. Model can include isotropic materials and composite sandwich structures. Learn how to interpret data and use pre and post processor. View animated modal shapes.
SUBSONIC AERODYNAMIC FLUTTER Program for the PC:
Using this program, plots of damping and frequency as a function of velocity are used to determine the critical flutter speeds and participating mode shapes. Program determines flutter speeds and divergence speeds for various altitudes, symmetric and asymmetric modes.
COURSE TEXT NOTEBOOK:
Comprehensive, in a 8 1/2 x 11 spiral bound notebook, includes all data and example problems that you will solve.
QUALIFICATIONS:
Participant should be familiar with operating a PC and using the Windows 2000 operating environment. No other qualifications are necessary.
Advance Registration:
Due to limited class size, advanced registration is required and no refunds unless mutually agreed upon!. Registration at the door will not be accepted.

Registration fee: $780 includes lunch and all course material.
