Basic
FEMAP
This
is the perfect class for newcomers to finite element analysis.
A very practical approach is taken from the outset.
Students
will be shown demonstrations of how to set up, analyze and investigate
typical structures. Intensive workshop periods then follow to
put this new knowledge into practice. The important features of
the FEMAP GUI are introduced in a logical and informative manner.
Emphasis during the class is on the construction of proper analysis
for both single part and assembly models. Additional troubleshooting
techniques are discussed, as well as the various types of common
error messages generated by FEMAP.
Objective
The objective of this class is to give a solid grounding in FEA
basics and good practice to enable the student to carry out real
world analysis.

Advanced
Dynamic Analysis
This
class is presented in an informal way with the emphasis towards
maximizing the hands on experience for the student. Many sample
model set up, analysis and results processing examples are presented
live by the tutor for the class to learn, discuss and investigate.
In addition, examples are provided for the students to practice
and gain confidence in the methods. These are increasingly challenging
as the class proceeds. Many students work with the tutor to create
sample analyses that are relevant to their particular industry
segment or working practice. This is highly encouraged, as is
bringing example problems to class.
Objective
The objective of this class is to provide the student with the
skills to carry out real-world dynamic analyses, such as gust/wind
loading, sinusoidal/random vibration, shock loading, etc. in a
time domain or frequency domain.
