Discuss "under the hood" of a Finite Element Analysis to better troubleshooting any FEM cases especially MSC Nastran

What you'll learn

Understand the fundamental theory of Finite Element Analysis and able to implement it for real applications

Able to utilise basic knowledge of MSC Nastran in the Patran environment

Identify the right way to define the boundary conditions such as loads and constraints in a specific applications

Identify the error that might happen and how to troubleshoot it in the MSC Nastran and Patran environment

Requirements

No specific prequisite for this course. Basic understanding of mathematics and mechanical engineering will be beneficial.

Description

MSC Nastran is the most complete and advanced FEA solver in industry, and extensively used in the real world applications. In this course, we will not only discuss the powerful capabilities of MSC Nastran in the Patran environment, but we will discuss what happened "under the hood", so we can easily change the scenario based on our own unique case, and easily troubleshoot any potential problems.This course is not designed for advanced FEA user, but rather a beginner introduction to MSC Nastran user, but the still detailed and comprehensive, so it will also opens some "unlocked" features even if you are already familiar with MSC Nastran and Patran.Although an introduction course, but we will discuss wide spectrum of applications, such as static structural, assembly and contacts, modal analysis, linear buckling, normal modes, thermal expansion, and some advanced topics such as size optimization, topology optimization, non-linear FEA, and parallelization.As the first Finite Element Analysis solver in the world, and now become the part of Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence, which make this software extensively used in the Industry, the skill of mastering MSC Nastran and Patran can be a good investment for your career as mechanical or structural engineer who wants to get a deeper role in the structural analysis or design in the industry.
