Training Classes

General Information

Training classes are held at our Livermore, CA and Troy, MI locations. Training can also be provided on site at your company. Once you've selected a class, please fill out a Registration Form. Please refer to our Contact Page to get in touch with our training coordinator.

Most, but not all, classes have a minimum count (usually six) necessary to hold the class. Please send your registration form as soon as possible. You will receive an acknowledgment that you have been included in the roster for the class. Confirmation notice will be sent as soon as the minimum count is reached; if class must be cancelled, the decision will be made two weeks prior to the first day of class and registered students will be notified immediately. Credit cards / invoices will be processed on first day of class for those in attendance.

Classes generally start at 9 a.m. and end at 5:00 p.m. Some classes are half a day on the last day. The following are included with your registration:

  • Access to computer for workshop exercises
  • Light continental breakfast each morning
  • Lunch each day
  • Welcome dinner, as LSTC's guest

Post-Conference Training Classes

Eleven classes are offered after the 12th International LS-DYNA Users Conference
on June 7-8 (Wed-Thur) on the campus of the University of Michigan - Dearborn. Please visit the conference website for course outlines, pricing, and to register online.

Final course selection, based on registration response, will be announced May 1, 2012.
About Laptops: Not all the available rooms at U-M Dearborn are computer labs; the classes with the highest response will be assigned the lab rooms first. For the other classes, however, we may be able to avoid a cancellation if there are at least three people willing to bring their own computer, allowing us to put the class in a lecture room.
When registering, please indicate if you are able and willing to bring a laptop. This would be necessary only if the class you selected is assigned a lecture room. Your confirmation will include this information, along with instructions to download LS-DYNA and any other workshop files for the class. Procedure for requesting a special conference class license will also be included.
