Course Overview

The Structural Mechanics (VPS) Explicit - Material Modeling course by Keysight is designed for CAE engineers, structural simulation analysts, and mechanical systems modeling engineers who require advanced expertise in material behavior under dynamic loading conditions. This advanced-level training imparts practical knowledge on applying material models within Structural Mechanics (VPS)/PAM-CRASH, focusing on optimal model selection for specific materials and load cases. Participants gain insight into the theoretical foundations and real-world phenomena of metals, plastics, foams, rubber, fabric, and adhesives. With over 90% of Fortune 500 manufacturing firms relying on high-fidelity simulation tools like VPS for virtual product development, mastering material modeling is essential for engineers in automotive, aerospace, and defense sectors aiming to improve safety and performance.

This hands-on course leverages Keysight’s Structural Mechanics (VPS)/PAM-CRASH software, covering critical tools such as GISSMO damage modeling, ECL failure models, Yoshida plasticity, and modular material extensions. Students engage in practical exercises using the Visual Environment (VE) GUI to configure and validate material models for metals, foams, and composites, simulating real-world crash and impact scenarios. The lab environment integrates pre-processing with Visual-Crash-Pam and post-processing via Visual-Viewer, enabling participants to build, test, and refine models under dynamic conditions. A key project involves configuring a multi-material component model with accurate failure criteria, allowing engineers to predict structural integrity and optimize designs for safety compliance.

The course prepares engineers for the Keysight CAE Certification in Structural Mechanics, a credential recognized across the aerospace, automotive, and defense industries for validating simulation expertise. Certified professionals report salary increases of up to 24%, with median global salaries ranging from $95,000 to $145,000. Koenig Solutions enhances learning with official Keysight courseware, Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, and optional 1-on-1 mentoring to ensure mastery. Graduates are equipped to lead simulation initiatives, improve product qualification accuracy, and drive innovation in high-stakes engineering environments, making this certification a strategic step toward advanced roles in computational mechanics and safety analysis.
