Getting Started with FEA

 

Getting Started with FEA

Getting Started with FEA
For the best results, be prepared.

If you are planning on integrating physics-based simulation, particularly finite element analysis (FEA) into your design and development process, you probably have several questions regarding its successful implementation. Getting Started with Finite Element Analysis answers those questions and prepares you for that success.

Topics covered include recommended computational resources and systems, FEA software evaluation, licensing options, staffing decisions, and, most importantly, determining the value proposition of FEA.

When you complete this course, you'll come away with a clear understanding of decision-making and strategies regarding the incorporation of finite element analysis.
