Course Overview

The Crash & Impact Analysis Using Abaqus course by Dassault Systems is designed for simulation analysts and engineers involved in structural crashworthiness and occupant safety simulations. This advanced training equips participants with essential skills in Abaqus for modeling high-speed impact events, making it ideal for roles such as Crash Simulation Engineer, Structural Analyst, and Safety Performance Engineer. Industry demand for these specialized skills is growing, with Dassault Systems reporting widespread adoption of Abaqus across leading automotive manufacturers and aerospace firms for regulatory compliance and safety certification. The course serves as a foundational step toward the 3DEXPERIENCE Structural Performance Engineer - Associate certification, validating expertise in simulation-driven design.

Participants gain hands-on experience with core Abaqus technologies including Abaqus/Explicit, General Contact modeling, and keyword-based input syntax, using the native Abaqus environment for simulation setup and execution. The lab component emphasizes real-world application, where students configure and run simulations such as the side impact analysis of a pickup truck using submodeling techniques and the deployment of multi-chambered airbags. Additional focus is placed on material modeling, constraints and connections, and co-simulation workflows, all reinforced through industrial case studies like the door pole-intrusion test and rail crash analysis. These exercises are conducted directly in the Abaqus CAE environment, providing a practical understanding of explicit dynamics and failure modeling.

This course prepares engineers for the 3DEXPERIENCE Structural Performance Engineer - Associate certification, a recognized credential in the simulation engineering community that enhances career mobility and credibility. Certified professionals report median base salaries of $110,132, reflecting the high value placed on crash simulation expertise in the automotive and aerospace sectors. Koenig Solutions supports learners with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling and access to official Dassault Systems courseware, ensuring consistent, high-quality training delivery. Completing this program positions engineers to lead advanced safety analysis projects and contribute to the development of next-generation vehicle and structural systems.
