Description
Autodesk Inventor Nastran is a powerful and robust numerical simulation program for engineering problems. Nastran is a solution engine for the finite element method, well recognized in structural mechanics. And there is no need to mention the great power that Inventor gives us for mechanical design.Inventor Nastran unites the best of these two software giving us the power to solve complex simulation problems within Inventor's comfortable environment.During this course you will learn the typical workflow for the design and simulation of mechanical parts. We will always give a simple and compressible introduction to the theoretical aspects of simulation. This way you can develop criteria and understand the reasons for the parameters that you will find in the program.We will go from the simplest to the most complex, starting with elastic and linear analyzes of mechanical parts. After overcoming the basic concepts, we will enter the world of nonlinear analysis, where many practical problems must be solved. Next, we will move on to dynamic analysis, where we will discuss various types of studies used in practice, including fatigue analysis. And lastly, we will look at coupled heat transfer studies.It is a very complete course that will lay the foundations and allow us to build on them.#AulaGEOThe AulaGeo team worked hard on this course. It was developed in Spanish by Enzo, voiced by Gabriella for English speaking students.
