Finite Element Methods and Practical Stress Analysis

Very essential for newly inducted engineers in FEM

About the workshop FEA has become widely used and universally accepted procedure in many industry sectors. In order to derive maximum benefit from the available technology, engineers should learn about the much strength of numerical techniques. At the same time, recommendations on how to avoid the inevitable pitfalls are invaluable. NAFEMS, the only independent not-for-profit organisation with the aim of promoting the effective and reliable use of FEA, addresses this requirement by providing this two day example-driven workshop. This workshop course offers excellent guidance on how to judge which approximations are acceptable and appropriate for solving a wide range of practical problems. Of equal importance is the manner in which the results are interpreted. Advice is provided which allows the correct decisions to be taken, based on results which are known to be reliable. Interaction is encouraged throughout the course. The course is completely code independent. Importance of workshop for the organisations using FEM The salient aspects of this workshop are The tutorials ? would be handled by very experienced industry exposed users of FEM. This course ? would offer vital guidance to judge which approximations are acceptable for solving the practical problems. The methods of verifying and validating the FEM results would be demonstrated with real world case studies. ? The globally ? recognised NAFEMS benchmark standards for FEM would be explained. Each participant would be provided with high quality training notes. ? Overall, this programme is designed to enhance the functional knowledge of young FEM users in the practical application of FEM Who Should Attend? This course is aimed at practising engineers who wish to learn more about how to apply finite element techniques to their particular problems in the most effective manner. This workshop addresses the needs of those industries wherein FEM jobs regularly carried out. The contents of this programme are specially designed keeping the needs of junior and middle level analysts who have to apply FEM for solving practical stress analysis problems. The material that is presented is independent of any particular software package, making it ideally suited to current and potential users of all commercial finite element software systems. The workshop is open to both members and nonmembers of NAFEMS. About NAFEMS NAFEMS is the International Association for the Engineering Analysis Community and it operates as an independent, notfor-profit association. The scope of its activities encompasses all simulation technology, including Finite Element Analysis and Computational Fluid Dynamics. As new application areas and techniques constantly evolve, NAFEMS becomes involved to create awareness of new analysis methodologies, deliver appropriate education and training, simulate the adoption of best practices and effective use of technology by offering a platform for continuous professional development. NAFEMS and its members are involved in the application of many different types of engineering simulation covering both products and processes. Membership exceeds 800 corporate members from over 30 different countries. About AeSIAA AeSI Alumni Association (AeSIAA) is the official Society of AeSI graduates. AeSIAA is an independent, non-profit registered body under Karnataka society's registration act. The Association comprises largely of Bangalore based AeSI graduates, holding key positions in various DRDO, CSIR, ISRO, Public and Private sectors, actively assisting the AeSIAA in its various endeavors. The primary objective of the Alumni Association is to provide an ideal platform for social/professional networking of alumnus as well as networking of students with alumni. AeSIAA is dedicated to support national aeronautical interest. AeSIAA intends to promote exchange of technical information, not only among its members but also among the engineering community by organizing regularly technical symposiums/lectures on topical subjects as well as in emerging areas with a futuristic vision.
