Description
Welcome Back to the Finite Element Analysis World!
Let me first congratulate you on your interest in improving your level in this fantastic field, which will empower your professional career to the next level.
As we were reviewing in previous courses, after my years of experience, I could experience all the benefits for different industries when they use the Finite Element Method (FEM) during the development process.
They produce better and more efficient designs that save time and, most importantly, save MONEY.
This is a fact: The demand for FEA professionals is continuously increasing, so we need to encourage people to join us in this field.
Therefore, I designed previous courses to take you from a complete beginner in FEA to a confident simulation professional with all the essential skills. Moving then to more advanced techniques in Contact Interactions
You will find these courses in my Udemy’s Profile:
- Finite Element Analysis. SolidWorks Simulation. RealProjectscouponCode=> ‘3107D637CB08260B4AC1’
- Finite Element Analysis. SolidWorks Simulation. P2: CONTACTScouponCode=> ‘C31932C95CADD6B11F1E’
And now, we are going to continue exploring more advanced models that will require the use of advanced techniques in FEA.
You will learn how to manage with BOLTED CONNECTIONS in this specific case.
But the important thing here is that I will not just show you what clicks you need to make to define a bolt.
Here, we will explore each parameter you need to know and calculate to ensure your bolts have the proper configuration.
And achieve a good behavior of your FEA Simulation models.
Throughout the course, you will master the following techniques:
- UNDERSTAND WHAT IS A BOLTED CONNECTION IN FEA
- How connectors in FEA save us a tremendous amount of time and computational cost
- Main types of BOLTED CONNECTIONS in FEA.
- COUNTERBORE WITH NUT
- COUNTERSINK WITH NUT
- COUNTERBORE SCREW
- COUNTERSINK SCREW
- FOUNDATION BOLT
- What is the purpose of each of these bolted configuration and when to use them
- Simulate Real cases where you will apply each of them.
- MAIN FAILURE MODES detected in Bolte Connections:
- Bolt in TENSION
- Bolt in SHEAR
- Connecting MULTIPLE PARTS.
- PRELOAD
- Explanation
- Calculation and Definition
- Interpreting
- AUTOMATIC TOOLS. You will learn how to increase your efficiency when preparing your FEA models.
- Hole Series
- Smart Fasteners
- REAL SCENARIOS. We will apply all those concepts and knowledge to more complete projects.
- PROJECT 01: Pressure Vessel
- PROJECT 02: Solar Panel System
We will start with the most straightforward definition and review all the cases as we progress in this course.
I am showing you how to speed up the definition process and increase efficiency with very cool AUTOMATIC TOOLS.
I want to practice analyzing each of the REAL SCENARIOS with you so that you will know how to respond when encountering different problems in future projects.
In addition, I will guide you in calculating the proper parameters to achieve the correct configuration for your bolts so your project will have the correct behavior analyzed.
As always, the key is to LEARN BY DOING, which is precisely what we will do here.
With all the examples we will review, you will obtain a set of CRITERIA and CAPABILITIES to manage scenarios confidently during future projects.
So,
Get ready to continue exploring advanced problems in FEA.
See you inside!
