NX and Femap Class Descriptions:
NX Nastran Introduction to Finite Element Analysis
NX
Nastran Introduction to Finite Element Analysis is an introductory
course intended for analysts who want to learn the details of how to
perform static structural analysis using NX Nastran. The course covers
the details of the structural analysis processes to define loads and
boundary conditions, FEA model checking and solving, and interpreting
the results. A variety of hands-on workshop exercises supplement the
lecture content.

NX Nastran Introduction to Dynamic Analysis
The
NX Nastran Introduction to Dynamic Analysis course introduces the
dynamic capabilities available in NX Nastran. It covers the fundamental
methods for solving for dynamic response, focusing on modal analysis.
An emphasis is placed on practical applications and applying
engineering judgment to dynamic response. The fundamentals of
structural dynamic theory are reviewed and the numerical methods used
to solve them are presented. The course covers the linear dynamic
response capabilities of NX Nastran, including normal modes analysis,
transient and frequency response, residual vectors, and enforced
motion. A variety of hands-on workshop exercises supplement the lecture
content.

NX Nastran Advanced Dynamic Analysis
The
NX Nastran Advanced Dynamic Analysis course continues where the NX
Nastran Introduction to Dynamic Analysis course left off teaching NX
Nastran’s dynamic analysis capabilities. It covers fundamental methods
of dynamic response, including both modal and direct analysis. An
emphasis is placed on practical applications and applying engineering
judgment to dynamic response. The fundamentals of structural dynamics
theory and the numerical methods used to solve them are presented. This
course covers the linear dynamic response capabilities in NX Nastran,
including direct transient and frequency response, normal modes
analysis with preload, random response analysis, shock and response
spectra, model reduction, and nonlinear applied loads. A variety of
hands-on workshop exercises supplement the lecture content.
Course Number: NXNAS220 (Femap) NXNAS221 (NX)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NX Nastran Introduction to DMAP
The
NX Nastran Introduction to DMAP course offers training in the NX
Nastran Direct Matrix Abstraction Program (DMAP) language. Students
will learn to write their own DMAP extensions to enhance the
capabilities of NX Nastran. DMAP can be used to enhance the
functionality of NX Nastran including computation of different
responses, the transfer of non-standard data to and from NX Nastran, or
to incorporate other user-developed algorithms. The student will learn
to use the DMAP language through the presentation of lecture materials
and the completion of example problems.
Course Number: NXNAS310

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NX Nastran Superelement Analysis
The
NX Nastran Superelement Analysis course offers training in the use of
the superelement analysis capabilities of NX Nastran. Superelements can
play a key role in allowing the analyst to solve larger and more
complex finite element models with limited computer resources. NX
Nastran offers three types of superelements, and these can all be used
with most NX Nastran analysis sequences. The different types of
superelements each have their advantages and disadvantages, depending
on the particular needs of a program. The student will learn to use all
three types of superelements through the presentation of lecture
materials and the completion of example problems.
Course Number: NXNAS320 (Femap) NXNAS321 (NX)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NX Nastran DDAM Analysis
The
NX Nastran DDAM Analysis course offers training in the performance of
the Dynamic Design Analysis Method using NX Nastran. DDAM is a U.S.
Navy developed analytical procedure for evaluating the design of
equipment subject to shock loading. The student will learn to use the
NX Nastran DDAM solution (SOL 187) through a presentation of lecture
materials and the completion of example problems.
Course Number: NXNAS410 (Femap) NXNAS411 (NX)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NX Nastran Sensitivity and Optimization
The
NX Nastran Sensitivity and Optimization course offers the theoretical
and practical aspects of using the NX Nastran sensitivity and
optimization capabilities. Sensitivity and design optimization can be
used to automate the improvement of a proposed design. The NX Nastran
design sensitivity and optimization solution is extremely flexible and
allows the user to vary the model parameters to minimize an objective
function, such as overall weight, given constraints on both the static
and dynamic response. The class will cover the definition of design
variables, constraints and objectives in NX Nastran, as well as the
interpretation of results. The student will learn to use NX Nastran
sensitivity and optimization through the presentation of lecture
materials and the completion of example problems.
Course Number: NXNAS330

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NX Response Simulation
The
NX Response Simulation course offers training in the use of Response
Simulation for the analysis of mechanical components subjected to
dynamic loads. In addition, the course covers both the general theory
and methods behind the software and requirements, such as modal
sufficiency, that are important in achieving accurate results. Hands-on
practice with NX Response Simulation software is also provided. A
variety of examples are used to demonstrate typical approaches for
problems with transient, sinusoidal, shock, and random excitations.

The Femap 101 course provides the engineer new to
Femap with a substantial introduction to the software, its structure,
capabilities, and how to take advantage of its efficiency and
strengths. For the engineer who already is using Femap, this course
will fill in the grey areas, provide important time-saving knowledge,
and guide them on their way to becoming a Femap expert.
