Finite Element Analysis, Prototyping

Within the Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Virtual Prototyping and Validation course various techniques are discussed, with examples and common tools available. In addition, two stages in the virtual design process are also evaluated. The first is the creation of the engineering design, and the second is the evaluation of the design. The tools for each are also reviewed. Exploration of the different forms of computer-aided design (CAD) such as, wire frame geometry, surface modeling, and solid modeling are key features of this course which will improve your understanding of design evaluation using simulations and virtual prototyping.

Overview of Fasteners

The Overview of Fasteners course will assist in the primary decision: what type of fastener to use for an assembly. By using the Chain Decision Chart, the user will select a fastener type that can be further defined by the Choices Menu that follows. The use of this routing will certainly point out the right directions to pursue in fastener choice. A bolt may work, a rivet, or even a staple may do the job. Your company’s preferences, what types of parts are already in use, operator and plant preferences, even your own conceptions of what you think is better will affect the final part choice. The use of the Decision Chart and Choices in this course will outline advantages and disadvantages of the several paths of selection; but in all cases, selecting a safe, conservative choice for the conditions listed has been followed.
