Cosmos Works

Cosmos Works

(OP)
Does anyone have a good suggestion for a Cosmos Works help book? All the engineers here have not run Cosmos in the past, but we are all trying to learn. Plus the bosses have demanded that we start using Cosmos in everything.
Any help would be appreciated.

RE: Cosmos Works

Hi

You can look at this problem in two ways:

1- you know about FEA but you need to know how CW works. In this case, the online tutorial is a good start and you will not need much more to start serious analysis.

2- you're not experienced with FEA. In this case, AFAIK, Cosmos does not have technical documentation to help you. That's one thing where Cosmos is far behind the competitors. Many FEA packages have technical docs that, for example, describe the elements and their DOF's, the formulation, the file structure... You must search for a good generic FEA book.

Regards

Well thanks everyone for the input. I have told my company that we need some training, they just don't want to work with me on when. But that is just how some companies are.
