(OP)
I am new to the field and I would like to learn how to apply FEA in design (stress analysis, heat transfer). What topics would be required for a novice to study in order to make full use of design computer tools? thx in advance.

RE: I am new to the field and I would l

You will need an understanding of mechanics, heat transfer, and a lot of common sense.

Hi!

I have found the book "Finite Element Modeling for Stress Analysis" by Robert D. Cook to be useful when I was an undegraduate student. In my opinion, it is quite simple to read and understand the subject.

I hope this helps.
