OBJECTIVE OF WORKSHOP

Finite element analysis (FEA) analysts / simulation engineers play a critical role in product development life cycle for design validation, optimisation, and even failure analysis (root cause analysis). Reports from analysts have a significant bearing on the engineering / product design. Core objective of workshop is to empower the analysts to add more value to the product design and engineering functions.

Workshop helps analysts to develop more insights about modelling, and how to reduce/ eliminate mistakes in modelling, and how to deliver reports of high value.

Common problems faced by analysists include:

  • How to defend the analysis result/ report?
  • How to validate the design by first principles?
  • How to model all the complexities of physical model?
  • How to simplify the model
  • What type of analysis to be conducted?
  • What type of elements to be used?
  • How to check and control the quality of analysis
  • …. And many more.

How the workshop will help?

Problems listed above are very complex. FE analysts need to understand the process and develop mechanisms. Companies need to evolve simulation strategies, including training, quality control, project management practice, and review mechanisms.

Workshop will assist participants to get orientation to finite element analysis and help them to develop an approach to build appropriate robust FE models and validate the same efficiently, saving time.

Unique Methodology of workshop (with follow up action)

The methodology comprises of 3 stages.

  • 2 day workshop
  • 1 day follow up session using web session
  • Creation of WhatsApp/ Google/ similar groups for further interaction between participants

What happens in the 2 day Workshop?

Workshop will have a combination of

  • Lectures by expert speakers
  • Group exercises / workshop on
    • Creation of conceptual models
    • Prescription of Boundary conditions
    • Problem definition and problem solving
    • FE model validation by first principles
    • Common mistakes in FE modelling
  • Quizzes
  • Test at the end of workshop
  • Assignments for follow up web based session.

NOTE:

  • Workshop will be intensive and is expected to be of 10-12 hours or more each day.
  • Workshop will not be based on any particular FE software.
  • Participants are encouraged to bring their laptops with FE software of their choice to solve simple FE problems
  • Emphasis will be on understanding the physical problem and creating a a conceptual model
  • A web based follow up session will be organised, which participants can join from their respective preferred locations. Date will be finalised during the workshop.
