Description
Welcome to the Finite Element Analysis World!
Let me first congratulate you on your interest in this fantastic field, which will empower your professional career to the next level.
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, saving time and, most importantly, saving MONEY.
As the demand for FEA professionals continuously increases, we must encourage people to enter this field.
For that, I designed this course to take you from a complete beginner in FEA to a confident simulation professional with all the essential skills.
You will learn how to define comprehensive simulation models using the most commonly used finite elements: SOLIDS, SHELLS, and BEAMS.
Throughout the course, you will master the following techniques:
- GEOMETRY OPTIMIZATION for Simulations.
- Understand the importance of having a correct and efficient model to obtain accurate results and save computational costs.
- Understand what is necessary for your simulation.
- Customize your own MATERIALS LIBRARY
- Today, FEA software offers a great range of materials to use in our simulations.
- To go one step further, I will guide you through creating your customized material library for your projects.
- Applying BOUNDARY CONDITIONS effectively.
- Understanding each problem to define the correct Fixtures and External Loads is essential.
- It is our immense responsibility to define the BC correctly to obtain the correct behavior of our models.
- By doing this, we can guarantee the correct behavior of the physical problem in reality.
- MESHING. How to create an accurate and appropriate mesh for your models.
- This step is crucial in a Finite Element Analysis.
- Learn how to create an accurate and appropriate mesh for your models.
- Here, we will understand what it means to use the Finite Element Method and how FEM solves the differential equations.
- To have accurate results, we need to take care of the mesh of our model.
- I will guide you in defining what type of mesh is most efficient in each project, depending on the particular necessities of each case.
- RUNNING thorough analyses
- By understanding the solver we are using, we can guarantee the efficiency of the simulation and the accuracy of the results.
- We will go into detail about each one’s particularities.
- Conducting comprehensive RESULT EVALUATION
- Once we have carefully prepared our model, we need to understand the software’s results.
- We need to have the knowledge to believe in our results.
- To do that, we will review the tools, and I will give tips on ensuring a good post-processing of your models.
Ok, that sounds great
BUT,
what sets this course apart?
I will guide you to simulate not just simple components.
I want you to practice with examples based on REAL SCENARIOS.
This means you’ll quickly internalize the concepts and gain practical understanding.
We will go into detail on each project, analyzing the particularities of each one and thus choosing the finite elements (solids, shells, or beams) that best suit its related modeling.
This hands-on experience will significantly enhance your knowledge. Based on my years of experience, I can assure you that tackling real problems is the fastest way to learn and grow.
This is all to ensure you get the most out of this training and can soon join the FEA professionals who make the designs we will see tomorrow better and more efficient.
So,
Get ready to unlock your FEA potential and start confidently simulating your designs.
I will guide you to assure you that confidence!
See you inside!
