Are you looking for a Finite Element Course that you can do in your spare time at your own pace? Most Finite Element Analysis Courses focus on a particular FEA software package and you will spend most of your time learning where the buttons are and how to operate the graphical user interface. We offer a different approach that is not related to any particular FEA software brand but is relevant to all generic finite element codes such as ANSYS, NASTRAN and ABAQUS etc. By taking this approach you get to grips with the fundamentals of the Finite Element Method and you can transfer these skills to any FEA code you work with.
