Structure Analysis Initiation with Finite Element Analysis

Use finite element analysis for dimensioning structures.

Objectives:

Upon completion of the training, the attendants will be able to carry out the following:

  • understand the basis of finite element analysis
  • develop new model
  • build structures inside a finite element software
  • analyse finite element model results

Date:

TBA

Time:

TBA

Pre-requisites

Good understanding of strength of materials.

Pedagogical Means:

Use of theory and practice together for better understanding

Who should attend:

The course is designed for Design Engineers, Engineers and Engineering Consultants.

Course outline:

  • Theory:
    • Mechanical prerequisite
    • Finite element method overview
    • Boundary conditions
    • Meshing
    • Loadings
    • Solver
    • Stress and strain
    • Help in Checking model’s accuracy
  • Practical Exercises with 2D Models:
    • Plain stress
    • Axis-symmetry
  • Practical exercises with 3D Models:
    • Shell
    • Solid

Practice is carried out with Castor Concept Software.

This formation generates discussions between trainees in order to develop skills in model choice, creation and validation.

Trainer

This course will be conducted by Mr. Romain Duval, a Structural Analysis Expert at Cetim. He has been Project Leader of many private studies dealing with structural analysis

Mr. Romain Duval

Romain DUVAL work as mechanical FEA analyst in the simulation team of CETIM.

His fields of interest cover structural analysis based on FEA (NX Nastran, Ansys, Abaqus), private studies dealing with proofs and strength of structures or mechanical components, and training for knowledge transfer to industry
