NozzlePRO and Introduction to FE/Pipe
Session One: July 28 - 29 | Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Session Two: August 5-6, 2008 | Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Cost (2 days): US$ 1,400

How You'll Benefit

Training participants will gain a working knowledge of Paulin Research Group's (PRG) finite element analysis software. This two day course will cover Nozzle/PRO, code compliance, program output and an introduction to FE/Pipe. This segment will provide a good introduction to potential customers as well as new users.
