“I have taken FEA courses at SAE, read several books, and watched numerous YouTube videos… There are no alternatives that come close to the content and the quality of the instruction.”
Practical FEA Simulation Training for Engineers
Train on real projects
Think like a simulation engineer
Develop the skills, confidence and experience to solve the simulation challenges you’ll actually face on the job.

Stand outWith a portfolio of your work
“The material has given me the confidence to begin applying FEA techniques to real engineering problems in my work. I've started analysing the lifting lugs on the equipment we manufacture at my company.”
“Great course with detailed explanation and guidance from tutor. Learned a lot! Enrolled to the 2nd part of this course right away.”
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?
The areaFEA Methodology
Learn FEA the Way Engineers Actually Use It
What makes this methodology different
Real engineering projects
Work on complete engineering projects, with challenges, mistakes, and unexpected results engineers actually face.

Understand the WHY behind every decision
Explore wrong assumptions, failed approaches, and how to fix them.

Learn in weeks what took me years
Get straight to the practical knowledge, hard-earned lessons, and insights I’ve gained from years of real FEA experience.

Build skills you can prove
Develop engineering judgment and build a portfolio of real FEA projects that shows what you can do.

Have fun learning FEA
Forget boring exercises. Learn by solving exciting engineering challenges you’ll actually enjoy working on.

WHAT STUDENTS SAY ABOUT THIS APPROACH
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.
