Description

Welcome Back to the Finite Element Analysis World!Let me first congratulate you on your interest in improving your level in this fantastic field which will empower your professional career to the next level.As we were reviewing in previous courses, after my years of experience, I could experience all the benefits for different industries when they use the Finite Element Method (FEM) during the development process.They produce better and efficient designs that save time and, most importantly, save MONEY.This is a fact: The demand of FEA professionals is continuously increasing, so we need to encourage people to join us in this field.Therefore, I designed previous courses to take you from a complete beginner in FEA to a confident simulation professional, equipped with all the essential skills. Moving then to more advanced techniques in Contact Interactions and Bolted and Welding Connections.You will find these courses in my Udemy's Profile. The order is this one: Finite Element Analysis. SolidWorks Simulation. RealProjectsFinite Element Analysis. SolidWorks Simulation. P2: CONTACTSFinite Element Analysis. SolidWorks Simulation. P3: BOLTSFinite Element Analysis. SolidWorks Simulation. P4: WELDINGAnd now, we are going to continue exploring more advanced models that will require the use of advanced techniques in FEA.In this specific case, you will learn how to manage with the rest of CONNECTIONS in FEA.But the important thing here is that I am not going to just show you what clicks you need to do to define a Connector in FEA.Here we are going to explore each parameter you need to know and calculate to ensure your connectors have the proper configuration.And, achieve a good behavior of your FEA Simulation models.Throughout the course, you will master the following techniques:SPRING CONNECTOR How Spring connectors in FEA save us a huge amount of time and computational costMain points of Spring ConnectorsSPRING IN TENSIONStiffness CalibrationSPRING IN COMPRESSIONPreLoad AdjustmentShear Stiffness InfluenceWhat is the purpose of each Connector configuration and when to use themSimulate Real cases where you will apply each of them.LINK CONNECTOR How Link connectors in FEA save us a huge amount of time and computational costMain points of Link ConnectorsLINK CONNECTORLink Connector vs. Real LinkLINKAGE ROD CONNECTORAdvantages of this interesting ConnectorHow to calibrate a model in a Lifting Process SimulationPIN CONNECTOR How PIN connectors contribute to the mechanical engineering field and how to use them in FEA Main points of PIN ConnectorsContact Interactions for PIN ConnectionPIN AcceptabilityComponent Forces AXIAL, SHEAR & BENDINGAdvantages of Pin ConnectorsBEARING CONNECTOR Exploring the interesting BEARING mechanisim Main points of BEARING ConnectorsRigid vs. FlexibleSelf AlignmentStabilize Shaft RotationWhat is the purpose of each Connector configuration and when to use themSimulate Real case where you will explore each configuration.CONVERGENCE ISSUES. You will face new problems that you can find when defining your FEA model due to: Complex GeometryAdvance tools in FEACombination of contact interactions and connectorsSpecific Connector DefinitionsREAL SCENARIOS. We will apply all that concepts and knowledge to more complete projects. PROJECT 01: Tension GaugePROJECT 02: Cultivator ArmPROJECT 03: Link SystemPROJECT 04: Chassis Frame LiftingPROJECT 05: Coupling SystemPROJECT 06: Boom Crank StructurePROJECT 07: Crank-Shaft SystemWe will start from the easiest definition and go through all the cases as we progress during this course.Showing you how to speed up the process of definition and increase your efficiency by very cool METHODOLOGIES.I want to practice with you how to analyse each of the  REAL SCENARIOS to know how to respond when you find different problems in your future projets.In addition, I will guide you to calculate the proper parameters to have the correct configuration for your connectors and so your project will have the correct behaviour to be analysed.As always, the key is to LEARN BY DOING and that is exactly what we are going to do here. With all the examples that we are going to review, you will obtain the corresponding CRITERIA & CAPABILITIES to manage with scenarios during your future projects with confidence.So, Get ready to continue exploring advanced problems in FEA.See you inside!
