SIMCENTER FEMAP

Whether you're a first-time FEA user or someone with 10+ years of experience, our workshops provide the principals and modeling fundamentals to get new users up and going. That said, each of the workshops also has tips, tricks, and extra skills to push experienced users on their knowledge and experience.

This Simcenter Femap training course taught by Predictive Engineering and Applied CAx takes the user from the ground floor through FEA best practices. It then moves into advanced subjects dealing with manifold and non-manifold surface modeling, detailed plate meshing, and tet versus hex meshing. The optional final day finishes with a focus on customization and automation using Excel and Femap's own API interface.

The course is fast-paced and follows a workshop format with theory, practice, and Q&A sessions. Sessions are created and managed by George Laird, PhD, PE, and Adrian Jensen, PE, experienced simulation engineers who have used Femap & NX Nastran on a daily basis for longer than they can remember. Attendees will receive information on where to find free Femap training resources, and will have a chance to get answers to their FEA questions.

Cost: $2450 (optional online API training course, add'l $245)
