ANSYS Training: Non-Linear Analysis
47 Lessons 00:00:00 Hours English
Design engineers often encounter materials, components, and assemblies that exhibit intrinsic nonlinear behaviour in their daily work. The neglect of these nonlinearities may have a significant impact on the precision of simulations. Many engineers, nonetheless, continue to avoid engaging in nonlinear simulation due to the perception that it is excessively intricate and time-consuming. Several years ago, such was actually the situation. The process of establishing and conducting nonlinear simulations required a greater level of expertise and a longer time commitment. Furthermore, there has been a longstanding apprehension about the intricate numerical techniques used to depict nonlinear reactions. Simulation specialists were often responsible for doing nonlinear analysis if it was conducted at all. The previously held beliefs on the complexity of nonlinear simulation have been rendered obsolete due to advancements in finite element analysis (FEA) software and processing technology. Contemporary structural analysis software integrates automated processes and pre-set parameters, facilitating user-friendly execution of nonlinear simulations. The continuous advancement in processing power, seen in both the engineer's personal computer and the server room, has facilitated the feasibility of conducting nonlinear simulations, even for rapid design iterations. Throughout this series of lectures, participants will engage with the fundamental principles of nonlinearity, explore algorithms designed to address nonlinear problems and examine strategies aimed at resolving convergence challenges. In this course, participants will engage in a series of over six sessions aimed at comprehending the finite element analysis (FEA) technique for problem-solving. These workshops will cover various approaches to addressing convergence concerns, resolving such challenges, and exploring industrial applications where nonlinear analysis is useful. We are excited to announce ANSYS Training for Nonlinear Analysis Initiative. The program involves 20 hours of online interactive training sessions and 20 recorded sessions for practice. It is designed to provide comprehensive instruction on nonlinear analysis using ANSYS software. The program covers a range of topics, such as material nonlinearities, contact, large deformation, and more. The training is suitable for engineers and researchers who want to learn how to use ANSYS software for nonlinear analysis. Upon completion of the training, participants will have the skills and knowledge needed to perform complex nonlinear analyses with ANSYS software. After every online interactive session, a recording of the session will be uploaded into the PE-FEA database. This will benefit users who cannot attend the sessions as they can watch the recorded sessions and practice the exercises at their convenience. The program will be conducted through Zoom. For more information on fees and program structure, please contact info@fea.com and dr.joeldaniel@gmail.com.

Testimonials

  • I have taken Pythagoras Engineering online FEA classes on Static linear/ non-linear and dynamic analysis. I was a complete beginner in ANSYS and FEA domain before taking this class. After my course completion, I became quite strong in my FEA basics and well versed in ANSYS package. I would strongly recommend engineering students, or working professionals to take his course because he offers an exposure and knowledge of:
    1) Best industrial practices used in FEA model pre-processing in ANSYS,
    2) Real time industrial projects for practice,
    3) Strong theoretical basics along with ANSYS.
    4) Analytical and hand calculation basis to validate ANSYS results.
    All of this comes from his rich teaching, research and industrial experience. And his personal commitment to give his best to his students is also commendable. Therefore his lectures have a big advantage over typical CAD/FEA institute where only the software knowledge is predominantly imparted.

  • I have attended worth sessions on FEA along with industrial examples conducted by trusted trainer Dr. Joel Daniel. His teaching methodology helped me in learning from scratch to complex industrial problems. He has sound knowledge on FEA theory, ansys workbench, apdl. Apart from training, his qualities like, helping & down to earth nature, mentoring to boost the career are really appreciable. He assisted me in learning structural design which includes linear and nonlinear, structural vibrations and rotor dynamics etc. I strongly recommend his training for fresher as well as experienced one who really wants to rule the FEA world.

  • Training is worth and bridges gap between industry needs and theoretical knowledge


    Deepak Verma
    R&D Engineer at ABB

  • Dr,Joel Daniel is one of the best faculty for learning FEA.His way of teaching and involving student into a live projects is excellent. The course structured is well described and very much useful for the R&D industry. His approach to teaching is totally different than other trainers.After training, his support towards students is very excellent which I never found at other FEA faculty. I highly recommended Dr. Joel for FEA training. Moreover, his expertise in APDL is excellent.


    Shaheed Hossain
    FEA Engineer

  • I got an opportunity for a valuable session of ANSYS learning and training with industrial examples by Dr. Joel Daniel. His methods and technical competency were significant for me in learning/completing the concepts on schedule. Apart from his way of mentoring, he took initiative in documenting my work enabling a smooth learning process. He assisted me in learning structural design which includes linear and nonlinear, structural vibrations and rotor dynamics etc.

  • Class are well structured and the explanation was more towards practical approach, which makes easy to understand. different kinds of problem solving approaches wr explained using WB & APDL


    Harish Kolla
    Simulation Engineer (Hiwi) at Fraunhofer IPA (SRM University)

  • Dr.Joel's training is good and will be clean and crystal clear,both in concepts and application a good place to learn and can get the projects done. If you want to learn basics and to get a reliable results for FEA results I recommend Dr.Joel Daniel.


    Satish Kumar A
    R&D - FEA - ANSYS

  • Dr.Joel is a highly experienced FEA Consultant and his training classes involve a practical approach towards strength analysis. The most interesting part is that he covers a variety of industry case studies giving exposure to non-linearities, linear dynamics, and fracture mechanics, encompassing analytical and FEA predictions supported by testing data.

  • Pythagoras Engineering offers the best possible course coordinator on the ANSYS / FEA with very good course content important for understanding of ANSYS Tool along with knowledge of Finite Element Analysis. They not only provide training for ANSYS but also inform about tricks of Trade i.e. how to use this tool efficiently and accurately.


    Baljeet Singh
    Civil & Structural Engineering Professional at McDermott International Inc. (IIT-Delhi)

  • Dr. Joel Daniel conducted One-week workshop on Advanced Finite Element Analysis simulation in Engineering applications for NAVAJO TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY, USA,during May 24 to May 28-2021. From the start of the day, right until the end, Dr. Joel Daniel created an interactive learning environment that kept the students enthusiastic about the FEA. He covered topics on Linear stress analysis, thermal analysis, vibration analysis, and fracture mechanics. He has also shared case studies that helped our students to have an idea on how to use FEA concepts in real time applications. Feedback from the students has been great. I would highly recommend Dr. Joel Daniel both for his real-world practical knowledge and insights and his overall theoretical knowledge in Finite Element Analysis.

  • I had undergone a training under Dr. Joel for FEA in Ansys for around 60 hours. He taught Linear and nonlinear static structural analysis, vibration analysis, rotor dynamics, contacts, submodelling techniques, fracture mechanics brilliantly. After this training I am confident that I can do the real time projects. I will definitely recommend this training to my friends and colleagues."
