General Information about Efficient

Generate .comm file for BEAM analysis6:26
Generate a .comm command file for a cantilevered hollow beam analysis in fusion software, detailing mesh in med format, material, boundary conditions, loads, and output options.
Generate .comm file for Beam with Solid Rectangular Section2:50
Generate .comm file for Beam with Circular Section0:26
Generate .comm file for Beam with Hollow Circular Section1:15
Generate .comm file for Beam with Irregular Section3:24
Generate a .comm file for a beam with an irregular, general cross-section by defining area, depth, width, moment of inertia in two axes, and torsional inertia for finite element analysis.
Beam Analysis Command File

Generate .comm file for SHELL analysis4:29
generate a Code_Aster .comm file for a 200 mm by 5 mm shell, fix one end, apply 2000 N on the opposite edge, and define material, section, and boundary conditions.
Shell Analysis Command File
Generate .comm file for AXI-SYMMETRIC analysis3:48
Generate a .comm file for axisymmetric analysis using the efficient software, defining carbon steel, axisymmetric boundary conditions, and applying internal wall pressure to the specified mesh groups.
Axi-Symmetric Command File

Add stepping function to a Load7:06
apply a stepping function to a load by adding three forces (force x, force y, force z) at 2000 newtons across seven steps in the command file wizard.
Stepping Function
Add different material to different parts of the mesh3:10
Learn to assign multiple materials to mesh regions in a single Code_Aster command file, setting plate one to carbon steel and plate two to stainless steel in a 3d analysis.
Different Material Quiz
All Command Files0:18
In this section you will find all the command files that were generated during this course.

Head to the Resources section and download the zip file.

One thing to note here is that as the Command files were generated in a Windows environment, it may not work in any other Operating System.

I encourage you to use these command files in analysis of your own.
Good Bye0:46

Description

This course is structured in such a way that anyone new to Efficient software can download it and start using it in less than an hour.

By the end of this course you will be able to develop Command files for the following Finite Element Analysis that can be used in Code_Aster:

Beam analysis
Shell analysis
Axi-Symmetric analysis
3D analysis
3D assembly analysis
Add multiple material in one analysis
Add stepping function to loads

All command files generated during this course will be provided at the end of the course so that you can download them and use them to test the course content.

This course is structured such that within one hour you will be proficient in using Efficient software and will be able to generate command files of your own.

Efficient is the software developed to help users of Code-Aster to generate .comm files quickly and accurately.
