** Course Structure  **

The course will take you on exciting journey from beginner to expert in Theoretical Concepts behind CAE/FEA ,

Main theme of course is to get insight into Creating and modifying CAD/Geometry , Meshing , Connections and Analysis.

We will start with Theory of FEA , where you will get familiar with critical ways in which you can find solution to given problem and the logic behind most of the CAE software's .

Then we will proceed toward meshing where we will learn about 1d, 2d, 3d meshing & guidelines that one has to follow while meshing.

In meshing section we will do hands on exercises of many components and try to implement guidelines that we have studied. We will talk about quality checks and quality parameter in much detail along with the mathematical formulation of quality parameters.

Then we will move towards building assembly of various components using connections .

At last we learn to perform Modal Analysis , Static analysis . I have some of the industrial projects waiting for you.

Last section will be placed for your doubts. I will update this session with answers to all of your doubt
