Class Objective:

Fastway CAD CAE Training Goals IconThe primary objective of this PTC Creo Simulate Training class is to teach participants Structural Dynamic Analysis using the PTC Creo Simulate platform. Thus, upon completion of this course, participants will be able to set up, solve, and diagnose their own Shock and Vibration Analyses in Creo Simulate.

Applicable Software:

PTC Creo Parametric with the “Advanced Simulation Extension”

Topics Covered:

• Fundamentals of Vibration and Equations of State

• Statics vs. Dynamics in FEA Capabilities

• Time-based and frequency-based FEA approaches

• Using a Modal Analysis to optimize your design

• Dynamic Methodologies: Harmonic Vibration, Shock, Random Vibration, and Drop Test.

• Implicit vs. Explicit FEA

• Using FEA simplifications like Springs, Point Masses, and Constraint Equations.

After this class you will:

• The role of Dynamic FEA in Product Development

• Time Management, Troubleshooting, and Gaining Confidence as an FEA “Dynamicist”

• Best Practices in Analyzing Parts, Assemblies, and Managing Complex Geometries.

• Using a Modal Analysis to optimize your design

• Communicating with both Qualitative and Quantitative Results Post-processing

• Creating Sensors and Utilizing Design Optimization Techniques

• Finally, applications include CNC Machined Components, Sheet Metal, Plastic, Aerospace, Automotive, Consumer Electronics and more!

Who Should Attend:

This class is specifically tailored for those with a technical background and prior experience using PTC Creo Simulate and Analyzing Static Structural FEA. Therefore, an engineering degree is not a prerequisite, however, it is strongly recommended. As always, an open mind, a creative spirit, and a strong Quantitative Comprehension of Mechanics of Materials are necessary!

This class taught me the value of both qualitative and quantitative results and to apply my engineering fundamentals to verify the results - Mike C.
