Finite element modeling and analysis with Ansys & Hypermesh

Course Contents
The course contains concepts and techniques of finite element modeling and analysis which is
common for all analysis packages like Nastran, Abaqus and Hyperworks etc and PLM packages like
Pro!, "nigraphics, #atia$ %t also includes e&amples and e&planations from Ansys and particularly with
reference to the industrial applications$ 'ince it is mandatory that any finite element analyst should be
conceptually strong before using the tool, care is taken while designing the course$
