Engineers working on next-generation agricultural machinery face increasing pressure to quantify structural loads under realistic field conditions without relying solely on physical prototypes.

This one-day intensive course provides hands-on experience of three simulation methods used together in a single integrated workflow: Multi-Body Dynamics (MBD), the Discrete Element Method (DEM), and Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The course is 100% hands-on. There are no lectures or slides. Participants work inside the simulation environment from the first minute to the last, building a complete model of a tractor operating with a mounted tillage implement, running it under realistic soil loading conditions, and performing a structural stress analysis at the implement-tractor connection. All concepts are introduced in context as they arise during the build. Each participant is provided with remote access to a dedicated high-performance workstation for the duration of the day. No travel to campus is required and no local software installation is needed beforehand.
