“I tried the method you mentioned and I went with the threads per inch for the strength data for the counterbore connection and it worked. I'm also applying the meshing methodology you taught me with having an aspect ratio of less than 5 for detail and less than 10 for general and it has been really helpful as well.
Your teachings and experience that you have passed on through the course has really had an impact on me and I would like to specialize my career in FEA right now and CFD in the future.”
ABOUT areaFEA
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.

WHAT ENGINEERS ARE BUILDING INSIDE
“It has been an amazing content. I started my Post Graduate in Finite Element Analysis about 3 months ago and the content of this course has complemented the theoretical classes that I've taken. I really congratulate you about the way you explain and show the best way to take the decisions in the software that represents the physical problem itself. Congrats my friend. I already achieved the next course.”
“Diving into the world of FEA analysis using real project situations. Great course with detailed explanation and guidance from tutor. Thanks Carlos Aragonés. Learned a lot!
Enrolled to the 2nd part of this course right away.”
“He took many CAD and CAE courses, and without a doubt, this course exceeds all expectations. It's clear that the instructor is a highly skilled professional with extensive experience. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to expand their knowledge in the field. Thanks Carlos,”
“This course exceeded my expectations in every way. The instructor does an excellent job explaining complex concepts, introduces both surface and linear elements in addition to 3D type elements using interesting projects.
Results review and postprocessing of the results deserve to be mentioned, as the instructor gives very useful tips on how to effectively extract and present the results of the analysis. Top recommendation!”
“Loved it!! The representation of the real-world scenarios as external loads was easy to understand.
After a thorough search on the internet, I found that this is one of the best and easiest courses to understand. Kudos to Your Efforts and Dedication!!!!”
“Excellent FEA course! Clear content, concise explanations, and real projects make it highly effective. The real-world applications significantly improve the learning experience. Big thanks to the creator and looking forward to more courses like this!”
“This content surpassed my expectations. It's exceptionally well-explained, both in theory and in its application through SolidWorks FEA.”
“Very useful training. Good content, good explanations and most importantly, the case studies, which, thanks to seeing the real application, help you to internalise the process more.
I hope you continue to create this kind of courses.”
