Finite Element Courses

Finite Element Courses

Finite Element Courses

(OP)
I am looking to take finite element and was wondering if there are any good courses/packages out there? Also is this a type of course one can learn on there own? and what would be a good package to purchase for personal use?

RE: Finite Element Courses

The demo version of nastran for windows has a 300 node limit, which can exercise your ingenuity. Its pre and post processor is very good.

Lisa has a 1300 node limit in the free version.

UNA is a solver only, has a 20000 node limit, and is free for educational use.

If you actually want to do serious work at home then NE  Nastran is reputedly pretty good 4000-18000 bucks depending on what options you need.

Cheers

Greg Locock
