Bayesian Calibration of a Reduced Order Model for Structural Response Approximation, Dr. Aakash Bangalore Satish, April 29, 2022

Tool Training Workshop: February 22-23, 2022

quoFEM Day 1: Introduction to the SimCenter and the quoFEM application: capabilities including Latin Hypercube Sampling, Monte Carlo Sampling, and Sensitivity Analysis. Plus, an introduction to the Custom UQ Engine - a new feature that invites advanced users to integrate and use their tools within the SimCenter's Application Framework and the benefits of Gaussian process-based surrogate modeling

quoFEM Day 2: Introduction to the custom FEM engine with demonstrations of two structural engineering examples. The first will drive ETABS to calibrate a moment frame structure using modal characteristics. The second example calibrates an MDOF model run through Matlab.


Tool Training Workshop: May 24-25, 2021

quoFEM Day 1: New features in quoFEM: Global Sensitivity Analysis and Bayesian Calibration

quoFEM Day 2: A presentation of quoFEM's advanced features and backend workflow


Tool Training Workshop: June 15-16, 2020

quoFEM Day 1: An Introduction to the the SimCenter, examples of research applications the SimCenter has developed, educational software and an overview of quoFEM

quoFEM Day 2: A demonstration of how quoFEM works with Python scripts, OpenSeesPy or other custom scripts. Calibration examples: conventional and Bayesian
