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.

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.

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.

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.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


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. 

Course Number: TR15030
