It is often said that "common sense is not that common" - so true
in life and so true when it comes to engineering. Good,
common-sense engineer-types are what industry needs. We should not
chase a super accurate result when we do not know the accuracy of
the loading, the material properties, or any of the other many
inputs. Numerous approximate runs (or calculations) are to be
preferred over one supposedly accurate run which stands entirely on
its own without anything to compare with it.
We can apply common sense to our hand calculations. Given that
these calculations are run in parallel to our FEA, then we have the
safety and comfort of knowing that the hand calculation needs to be
a ball-park solution and not some master piece in applied
mechanics.
The same common-sense approach can be applied to our FEA work.
We would like to invite you to attend this webinar entitled “A
Common Sense Approach to Stress Analysis and Finite Element
Modeling
”
, which will be held on Thursday, February 28th
, 2008
at 11:00am Eastern Standard Time (GMT -05:00, New York).
This webinar will address:
- modern-day balance between hand calculations and FEA
- provide a number of "must-have" formulas for simple stress analysis
- summary of free-body diagrams to underpin stress analysis methods
- practical advice for the best use of FEA for realistic solutions
- constraint method that gives minimal support and worst-case
stresses

webinar.

RELATED TRAINING COURSES
These courses are aimed at practicing engineers who wish to
learn more about how to apply finite element techniques to their
particular problems in the most effective manner. The material that
is presented is independent of any particular software package,
making it ideally suited to current and potential users of all
commercial finite element software systems. The courses are a
must for all engineers aiming to use FEA as a reliable predictive
tool for thermal, stiffness and stress analysis.
The courses are open to both members and non-members of
NAFEMS.
