The weather was hot and muggy as Tropical Storm Cindy floated past Houston but fortunately, the power stayed on and the FEMAP and NX Nastran training class went off without a hitch. Ten analysts from Lockheed Martin’s Orion program participated in the training and worked through real-world examples from CAD geometry to full Global-Local models.
The engineers have honed their Nastran skills working on the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle and now have the FEMAP pre and post processing techniques to liberate them from the dreaded text editing and manual meshing.
I’d like to thank the class for their challenging questions and in-depth discussion of finite element modeling and analysis. To expand your own FEMAP and NX Nastran skills, visit us in Portland, Oregon for our next training on October 9th 2017.
