Acquire a theoretical background in finite element analysis through basic definitions, enabling understanding of FEA, with topics including mesh, static buckling, dynamic analysis, fatigue, CFD, topology optimization, and transient analysis.
Explore how CAE programs bridge CAD and CAM to analyze designs virtually, predict stress, resonance, and thermal behavior, and save time and cost through topology optimization and CFD.
Learn how mesh defines geometry from design data, and how three dimensional, two dimensional, and one dimensional elements with nodes affect accuracy, solution time, and quadratic versus linear elements.
Increase mesh elements in regions with high stresses to obtain more precise solutions, focusing on the reddest regions to create a better mesh and higher accuracy.
Define stress calculate criteria before computing stress values in static analysis, choosing von Mises, maximum principal stress, or Klomp for brittle materials and maximum shear or Vorm's criteria.
Explore dynamic analysis as a time-dependent process where forces and boundary conditions evolve with time. Learn dynamic analysis types: modal, transient, harmonic, random vibration, and explicit dynamic for crash scenarios.
Collect sensor data from loads with different frequencies acting on an airplane wing during a real flight, then input this data into computer analysis to perform random vibration analysis.

If you want to understand the logic of FEA in a short time, and build your theoretical background on all types of analysis, this course is for you.
In this course, I have prepared the basic definitions you need to know before you start using a CAE program.
The course is brief and concise. My main purpose is to propose high efficiency in a short time.
Engineering students.
Engineers who have no knowledge of FEA and want to start FEA.
Those who are not engineers but work in design, R&D or production positions and want to start FEA.
It is for anyone who wants to learn Finite Element Analysis.
In a CAD program, it is enough to use the program commands well to create a design.
In a CAE program, It is not enough to use the program commands well to perform analyzes.
Also you have to have engineering knowledge to use properly.
Thanks to this course you can acquire theoretical background with basic definitions.
