Class Offered for Newcomers to FEA

By DE Editors

Newcomers to finite element analysis (FEA) can take a class being offered by Noran Engineering (NEi; Westminster, CA) on NEi Software, Integrated NEiNastran/FEMAP Training for Beginners and Integrated NEiNastran/FEMAP Linear Analysis (July 7-11).

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.

At the same time the essentials of Nastran are explored so that students can learn the basics of the Nastran analysis and file structure. Emphasis is on the construction of proper analysis models, and the effective use of the various solution types. Additional troubleshooting techniques are discussed, as well as the various types of common error messages generated by NEiNastran. 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 linear static analysis.
