Instructor Led Basic Nastran Training

NEi Explicit An introduction to highly nonlinear, contact/ impact analysis using NEi Explicit solver to create simulations with motion, impact and large deformations. Prerequisites: Proficiency in the use of Femap and basic Nastran knowledge Length: 2 Days  more...

Shock and Vibration, DDAM Analysis Advanced discussion of dynamics as applied to shock and vibration. Will discuss modal analysis, modal significance, response spectrum analysis, harmonic analysis, transient analysis and DDAM and how each of these are applied to shock and vibration analyses. Will discuss modeling issues specific to these types of analyses and things to look for when checking and debugging these models.  more...

Nonlinear Analysis Advanced discussion of the use of nonlinear analysis. Material and geometric (large displacement and contact) nonlinearities are discussed. Students learn when to use nonlinear analysis, and how to troubleshoot the models. Prerequisites: Basic Nastran and Femap Length: 3 Days  more...

Heat Transfer Analysis Advanced discussion of the thermal analysis capabilities in Nastran. Topics include steady state heat transfer, and nonlinear transient heat transfer. Discussions include the necessary material data, and the ability to specify temperature dependent material data. Prerequisites: Proficiency in the use of Femap, and basic Nastran knowledge Length: 2 Days  more...

Dynamic Analysis Advanced discussion of the use of dynamic analysis. Topics include frequency, transient, and random response analysis. Students are taught how to setup the various inputs and interpret the results. Prerequisites: Proficiency in the use of Femap and basic Nastran knowledge Length: 3 Days  more...
