Basic FEMAP
This is the perfect class for newcomers to finite element
analysis. A very practical approach is taken from the outset.
Students will
be shown demonstrations of how to set up, analyze and investigate typical
structures. Intensive workshop periods then follow to put this new knowledge
into practice. The important features of the FEMAP GUI are introduced in a
logical and informative manner. Emphasis during the class is on the construction
of proper analysis for both single part and assembly models. Additional
troubleshooting techniques are discussed, as well as the various types of common
error messages generated by FEMAP.
Objective
The objective of this class is to give a
solid grounding in FEA basics and good practice to enable the student to carry
out real world analysis.

Advanced Nonlinear
Analysis
This class is presented in an informal way with the
emphasis towards maximizing the hands on experience for the student. Many sample
model set up, analysis and results processing examples are presented live by the
tutor for the class to learn, discuss and investigate. In addition, examples are
provided for the students to practice and gain confidence in the methods. These
are increasingly challenging as the class proceeds. Many students work with the
tutor to create sample analyses that are relevant to their particular industry
segment or working practice. This is highly encouraged, as is bringing example
problems to class.
Objective
The objective of this class is to provide
the student with the skills to be able to interpret the engineering problem,
identify the required analysis process clearly, and use Noran Engineering, Inc.
tools to carry it out and finally to critically review the results.
