This learning guide covers the fundamentals of Creo Simulate: Structural and Thermal Analysis. It provides you with the knowledge to effectively use Creo Simulate for finite element analysis, thereby reducing design time. Many concepts apply to both Structure and Thermal analysis; a portion of this guide is specifically dedicated to Thermal analysis. This is an extensive hands-on learning guide, in which you have the opportunity to apply your knowledge through real-world scenarios and examples.

Topics Covered

FEA Fundamentals: P-elements and analysis convergence methods Basic Modeling and Analysis Types of Loads and Constraints Idealizations: Shells and Beams Sensitivity and Optimization Studies Assembly Interfaces and Contact Analysis Thermal Analysis Modal Analysis Welds, Springs, and Masses Fasteners and Rigid Links Buckling Analysis
