VAMPIRE® Training

Introduction to VAMPIRE® Course
DeltaRail can provide initial training in the use of VAMPIRE®. Courses can be tailored to the customers requirements depending upon their experience of railway dynamics and dynamics simulation techniques. We can provide training courses from one day to five days in duration. An initial training course is strongly recommended when you purchase VAMPIRE®.

Courses can be held in Derby, UK or on the Licensee's site. The course is hands-on and covers all the elements of constructing vehicle models, using the customer's data if available.

Specialist VAMPIRE® Course
The VAMPIRE® team can provide specialist training courses on specific modelling issues. These include freight vehicle suspension modelling, passenger vehicle suspension modelling, the use of flexible modes in a model etc. These courses are typically half or full day courses.

Railway Vehicle Dynamics Course
DeltaRail is the world leader in the field of Railway Vehicle Dynamics with over 25 years as a company starting as British Rail Research. This course covers both theoretical and practical aspects of Railway Vehicle Dynamics and is aimed primarily at railway vehicle designers and train operators. The course would also benefit infrastructure owners and permanent way engineers who need a better understanding of how vehicle dynamics and vehicle track interaction impacts on their field of engineering.

The first two days of the course cover the basic theoretical background to railway vehicle behaviour together with a variety of important applications. The optional third day describes various common suspension arrangements and discusses modelling techniques for prediction of dynamic behaviour, using the VAMPIRE® Software Package.
