Steven Hale brings 16 years of experience in finite element modeling and analysis of structures - including impact, nonlinear material behavior, composite materials, vibration and heat transfer. Steve is skilled in the application of ANSYS software, and also has considerable experience with the LS-Dyna and the ANSYS LS-Dyna codes. He has developed both high-speed transient and quasi-static models, including projectile impacts into both hard and soft targets. Steve has worked extensively in the area of material modeling for transient analyses. He also provides hotline technical support to customers, and teaches our full lineup of training courses as well as courses in ANSYS LS-Dyna.
