Originally developed for aerospace structural analysis, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) can help engineers simulate real-world conditions and find vulnerabilities in their design prototypes. FEA is a convenient and speedy computer-aided engineering (CAE) tool for approximation of the solution to a wide variety of complicated engineering problems across a wide range of industries.
The course provides a comprehensive first look at the capabilities of FEA for mechanical design and analysis, with an introduction to commercial Finite Element software. In this course the brand-new user will be provided a basic understanding of the mathematic method through an introduction to the commercial software (Abaqus). Participants review common mistakes and good practices for “simple” analyses. Advanced topics include necessary mathematic description, demonstration of use of the software, and common mistakes and good practices, including Nonlinear analyses and Design by Analysis in FEA.
By participating in this course, you will learn how to successfully:
- Explain the basic mathematic processes of finite element approximation, along with common error sources and good practices for avoiding them
- Employ specific, FEA calculations for “advanced” analyses
- Navigate through Abaqus software to conduct simple analyses and develop the skills to use the software on your own after class ends
- Explain the basic ideas behind ASME Design by Analysis requirements
Who should attend?
Practicing Engineers with various levels of experience using finite element methods.
No specific prerequisites exist for this course, though knowledge of linear algebra would be helpful.
