Learn how to leverage SolidWorks 2019 FEA using simple to understand training. The SolidWorks 2019: FEA Made Simple course uses easy to understand mathematics and stress analysis concepts to explain the complex behavior of FEA studies. If you understand basic algebra you can understand FEA.
This doesn't mean you won't be able to use the full power of SolidWorks FEA. In fact, you'll be able to leverage the full extent of the module that comes with SolidWorks Premium. With this powerful tool you'll be able to perform stress and deflection analyses and confirm their accuracy with simple math and a few tips and tricks taught in this course.
One of the key features of this course is the use of simple models to explore complex concepts. For example, it's easier to focus on notch sensitivity when the model is a simple beam with a sharp corner. Calculations on a simple beam are simple. That's way they call it a simple beam. You'll use simple math to calculate stress on the simple beam, and you'll see how stress rises in the sharp corner. Of course we show you how to setup your study to analyze the stress in the sharp corner, but the point is the focus of your analysis will be on the corner and not the complexity of the model. This helps you learn the specific concept.
That doesn't mean you won't be able to work with complex models. When you master the skills taught in this course you will be able to break complex models into simple to calculate steps. SOLIDWORKS has no problem pumping out a number, but you need to be able to confirm that it's correct. By breaking complex models into simple calculation steps your portion of the analysis will be easy. You'll understand what to do because this course will show you how.
The FEA Made Simple course dives deep into the FEA module explaining how meshes and mesh elements work. This leads to understanding notch sensitivity and how to deal with it. From knowing all the different types of stress and how to apply them to fundamental concepts, this course shows you what you need to know to productively and accurately use FEA.
