NEi Fusion/NEi Works Training
This online class is intended to be a quick start training class for NEi Fusion or NEi Works. It covers different strategies for modeling such as when to use shell elements vs. solid elements. It also covers the basic analysis capabilities such as Linear Static Analysis for stress, Normal Modes Analysis for finding natural frequencies, and Buckling Analysis. You will also learn about more unique element capabilities such as rigid elements and composites, as well as more advanced capabilities like Nonlinear Analysis, Dynamic Analysis, and Heat Transfer.
Prerequisites: None
