Course Summary:

A one-day course, aimed at thermal engineers with a knowledge of the LUSAS Graphical User Interface. 

The course illustrates theoretical and practical considerations of thermal analysis and consists equally of presentations and ‘hands-on’ sessions.

Who should attend:

Existing LUSAS users familiar with a new requirement for thermal analysis.

Course Details:
