This course will introduce the concepts and benefits of Finite Element Analysis and the general analysis process. It will teach you how to prepare a model for analysis, create 1D, 2D and 3D FE models and compute a simple static analysis for a single part or an assembly.
Course objectives:
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
– Create a Finite Element Analysis model
– Prepare a solid or a surface model for analysis
– Create 1D, 2D and 3D meshes for beam, surface and solid models
– Assign properties, loads, and constraints, and define assembly connections
– Compute an analysis for a part or an assembly
– Generate and display analysis results
Target audience
Mechanical Designers and Structural Analysts
Prerequisites
Students attending this course should be familiar with the basics of CATIA mechanical and surface designing
