NX NASTRAN Advanced Simulation ProcessesNX NASTRAN Advanced Simulation ProcessesNX NASTRAN Advanced Simulation Processes

Duration : 4 Days Location : I-VTech Solutions Sdn. Bhd.

Advanced Simulation Processes introduces the finite element modeling and analysis tool integrated in NX. It is

intended for design engineers and analysts who want to learn the details of how to do finite element analysis on NX models.

The course covers the details of the FEA processes from model preparation, mesh generation and manipulation, material defi-

nition, loads and boundary conditions, FEA model checking and solving, to post-processing the results
