Perform Structural Simulation for Design Verification

Course details

This module stipulates how to perform Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulations, including:

• linear analyses such as static structural, modal and thermal analyses
• nonlinear analyses such as large deflection, plasticity and contact

It also focuses on how to utilize a design optimization application by studying, quantifying, and graphing various structural, thermal and flow responses on parts and assemblies.
