The Inventor 2022: FEA Made Simple course shows you how to unlock the power of design analysis. You will learn how Inventor analyzes each element of your design and how information propagates from element to element. So you will study FEA from both macroscopic and microscopic perspectives.
Almost all FEA documentation these days uses heavy matrix mathematics and advanced concepts to explain how it works. This course does just the opposite. It uses simple math and simple examples to give you a clear understanding of what you need to know. The result is you will be able to analyze your designs with just as much confidents as anyone.
So how do we know what you need to know? Using FEA is a little like knowing how to drive a car. If all the driver's training schools taught air/fuel ratios and fuel injector design you know that is not required to be a good driver. It's unfortunate, but FEA is typically taught with overly complicated concepts and heavy math that is not required to use it effectively.
Our instructor is a licensed Mechanical Engineer who knows the heavy math and advanced concepts. He also knows what you need to know to use FEA effectively. So he's broken the process down into simple to understand steps. When math is used it's simple. No calculus or matrices, just simple algebra and simple equations. He knows what you need to know to be accurate and effective. So the course is simple and easy to understand.
Produced for Autodesk Inventor 2022, the FEA Made Simple course is all you need to learn how to use this powerful tool.
