Finite Element Analysis. SolidWorks Simulation. P3: BOLTS

Welcome Back to the Finite Element Analysis World!

Let me first congratulate you to be interested in improving your level in this amazing field which will empower your professional career to the next level.

As we were reviewing in previous courses, after my years of experience, I have 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 means saving time and, the most important, saving 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

You will find these courses in my Udemy's Profile:

• Finite Element Analysis. SolidWorks Simulation. RealProjects

  couponCode=> '3107D637CB08260B4AC1'

• Finite Element Analysis. SolidWorks Simulation. P2: CONTACTS

  couponCode=> 'C31932C95CADD6B11F1E'

And 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 BOLTED CONNECTIONS

But the important thing here is that I am not going to just show you what clicks you need to do to define a bolt.

Here we are going to explore each parameter you need to know and calculate to be sure that your bolts have the proper configuration.

And, achieve a good behavior of your FEA Simulation models.

Throughout the course, you will master the following techniques:

• UNDERSTAND WHAT IS A BOLTED CONNECTION IN FEA

  • How connectos in FEA save us a huge amount of time and computational cost

  • Main types of BOLTED CONNECTIONS in FEA.

    • COUNTERBORE WITH NUT

    • COUNTERSINK WITH NUT

    • COUNTERBORE SCREW

    • COUNTERSINK SCREW

    • FOUNDATION BOLT

      
      

  • What is the purpose of each of these bolted configuration and when to use them

  • Simulate Real cases where you will apply each of them.

    
    

• MAIN FAILURE MODES detected in Bolte Connections:

  • Bolt in TENSION

  • Bolt in SHEAR

  • Connecting MULTPLE PARTS.

  
  

• PRELOAD

  • Explanation

  • Calculation and Definition

  • Interpreting

    
    

• AUTOMATIC TOOLS. You will learn how to increase your efficiency when preparing your FEA models.

  • Hole Series

  • Smart Fasteners

  
  

• REAL SCENARIOS. We will apply all that concepts and knowledge to more complete projects.

  • PROJECT 01: Pressure Vessel

  • PROJECT 02: Solar Panel System

We 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 AUTOMATIC TOOLS.

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 bolts 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 a 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!
