    Description

    Do you want to know how it's possible that the von Mises stress is twice as big as the yield point value and the model doesn't fail? Do you want to learn how to quickly prepare a simulation without errors? And, most importantly, do you want to learn how to correctly evaluate the results? This is the session just for you. FEA simulation software has been on the market for years, offering advanced analysis capabilities. However, knowledge from engineering practice is still lacking. These days, time moves faster than our traditional engineering workflow. Times have changed and now there is no time for trying. It's necessary to prepare a model with good mesh quality and results convergence in the first iteration. We will present good practices as well as tips and tricks for the simulation workflow. We'll look at complex and real industry examples in Autodesk Fusion 360 software and Inventor Nastran software.

    Key Learnings

    • Understand and take advantage of technology, from discovery through use and deeper utilization.
    • Get familiar with best practices for old school versus new trends in the results evaluation.
    • Discover faster simulations workflow (which model to choose; solid, shell, or beam) with an understanding of why.
    • Learn how to work with a complex model in Autodesk FEA software, and how to set data exchange between Inventor and Fusion 360.
