Workshop Overview

Heat treatment simulation has become an essential tool for optimizing manufacturing processes, reducing product
development cycles, and minimizing costly trial-and-error experimentation. This intensive 16-hour workshop provides
comprehensive practical training on DANTE FEA, enabling participants to simulate carburizing, quenching, tempering,
induction hardening, and other heat treatment processes.

Participants will learn how to predict:
– Phase transformations
– Hardness distribution
– Carbon diffusion
– Residual stresses
– Distortion and dimensional changes
– Heat treatment process optimization

through real-world industrial examples.
