COURSE OVERVIEW :
|
The course is intended for engineers who wish to use the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) as one of their design tools, and for engineering managers in charge of FEA related projects. Course Participants will learn how to turn FEA into a productivity tool by:
- Understanding powers and shortcomings of FEA
- Avoiding common pitfalls and misconceptions of FEA
- Selecting software best suited for the analyzed products
- Selecting preferable modeling approaches
- Producing reliable results on time
- Integrating FEA with CAD and other CAE tools
- Streamlining CAD and FEA by implementing FEA oriented Solid Modeling practices
- Ensuring quality and cost-effectiveness of in-house and contracted out FEA projects
All course topics are illustrated with hands-on examples using FEA software: COSMOSWorks, COSMOSDesignSTAR and COSMOSMotion. However, acquired skills are not software specific and no prior exposure to the family of COSMOS analysis products is required.
