Absolut beginner - how to get started?
Absolut beginner - how to get started?
(OP)
I have worked as a signal processsing engineer for 10 years in the field of acoustics/audio. Recently FEA caught my interest when I read an article where the authors had carried out a mode analysis of the interior of a car. And they used FEA.
I have no practical experience with FEA and I have never had the chance to play around with any FEA program.
How can I get started?
What I have been hoping to find is a tutorial, that explains how to create a very simple model/mesh and from that continue in very simple small basic steps with the modeling/analysis part.
Can anyone recommend how I can get started with FEA?

I recently started working with abaqus about a year ago. The documentation has a bunch of example problems. If you go through them, you'll get a basic idea of how to do some things.

The more you use a particular software package, the more comfortable you get with it. It's just a matter of understanding the physics behind the problems you are exploring.

They are fun, informative and easy to do. I know you can buy a copy of ANSYS Ed for around £100, which limits the size of model you can use (ie you can't do any complex simulations), but it is perfect for these tutorials.
