The problem

Learning FEA is one thing.
Solving Real Engineering
Problems Is Another.

You can study FEA, take courses, or even use it at work and still feel unsure when facing a new engineering challenge.

Am I actually doing this right?
  • Where do I start?
  • Is my mesh correct?
  • Can I trust the results?
  • Am I making the right assumptions?
Getting results is one thing. Knowing what they mean and what to do next is another.

WHAT STUDENTS SAY ABOUT THIS APPROACH

Carlos Aragonés

Hi, I'm Carlos

WHY I TEACH FEA THIS WAY

I'm Carlos Aragonés, founder of areaFEA. I've spent the last 14+ years running finite element simulations on real industrial projects across automotive, energy, and manufacturing, using a wide range of professional FEA platforms.

The methodology I teach isn't something I learned in a classroom. It's the workflow I built through real engineering projects, refined across thousands of simulations, and now teach to more than 2,300 engineers worldwide.

The software changes. The underlying engineering decisions don’t.

These programs are everything I wish I'd had when I started. They're structured the way industrial work actually happens and built around projects you can defend in a design review.
They're designed to help you understand what to do when you're facing a simulation on your own.
