The SolidWorks 2020: FEA Made Simple course is an advanced course designed to help both beginner and advanced users unlock the power of the FEA module. We recommend that you watch the first 4 courses in the series before watching this course.
It shows both beginner and advanced users how to simplify your work to leverage the power of the software. Simple math is used to confirm the accuracy of your study results. All the components and options of FEA are described in detail so that you know how to take control. Each step of the way you'll learn practical methods of creating accurate FEA studies.
If you're not confident about using the FEA module you will not use it. This is why the FEA Made Simple course simplifies and breaks down complex concepts into simple to understand steps. When you take these steps and then compare your results to the study results, you'll begin to build confidence.
While there's a little more to it than predicting study results, this course covers everything you'll need. Notch sensitivity and how to deal with it, material selection, mesh element types, the list goes on. Each component is described in detail so that you will clearly understand everything you need to know make accurate studies and predict real world results.
The SOLIDWORKS 2020: FEA Made Simple course has over 4.3 hours of video instruction. If you study 8 hours a day, the average time it takes to watch the lessons and practice the tasks is 3 days.
