Course Summary Video (1 Minute)
Our online course develops your understanding of FEA, MSC Apex and MSC Nastran, and the many concepts they support, allowing you to become productive very quickly.
You’ll become familiar with KEY WORKFLOWS, IMPROVED MODELING STRATEGY and the ANALYSIS BENEFITS achievable with FEA and MSC Apex and MSC Nastran.
All the taught and tutorial content is built around a REAL-WORLD CAD REPRESENTATION OF A UAV/DRONE AIR VEHICLE – you’ll be guided through the key stages for simple part FEA through to full assembly analysis.
Our applied teaching and tutorials will advance your understanding from simple modeling tasks, through to looking at complex assemblies, model verification and using MSC Apex and MSC Nastran as part of an external FEA workflow.
You can run the all of the tutorial examples shown during this course in your own time-limited free version of MSC Apex and MSC Nastran, which is available from the software developer Hexagon HERE. This trial includes the following software,
MSC Apex Modeler – the Apex ‘Pre-/Post-Processing’ user interface, which allows FEA model build and result exploration
MSC Apex Structures – the Apex embedded FEA solver (based on MSC Nastran) for embedded analysis within the Apex environment
MSC Nastran – the industry-standard stand-alone FEA solver, with licenses for linear static, modal, buckling and dynamic analysis (SOL 101, 103, 105 and 111) and advanced non-linear analysis (SOL400).
MSC Apex is a stand-alone FEA platform, and can also generate data for external MSC Nastran analysis, along with the ability to explore MSC Nastran results.
