This workshop focuses on shafts and bearings, using eAssistant and TBK to illustrate key concepts and principles. Participants will explore general settings, configuration options, and calculation methods, all through numerous practical examples. No prior specialized knowledge is required.

The course is ideal for young professionals, experienced engineers, designers, and technicians seeking practical, hands-on insights.
