ENGINEERING TOOLS & METHODS
Learning Objectives By participating in this On Demand Course, you will be able to: • Identify the purpose of using FEA in the design process • Explain the differences between using different element orders • Explain the differences in the number of degrees of freedom between different element types • Recite commonly made assumptions in FEA projects and summarize effects of each assumption • Define convergence process and explain why it is used in the FEA process • Define discretization error and summarize its impact in the FEA process Who Should Attend This SAE-produced course addresses the needs of design engineers who are not specialized analysts but need to use the Finite Element Analysis to analyze a new product during the design process. Also non-specialist FEA users, R&D engineers and managers, project engineers, and product engineers can benefit from FEA concepts.

Useful in structural, vibration, and thermal analysis, FEA has been widely implemented by automotive companies and is used by design engineers as a tool during the product devel- opment process. Design engineers analyze their own designs while they are still in the form of easily modifiable CAD models to allow for quick turnaround times and to ensure prompt implementation of analysis results in the design process. While FEA software is readily available, successful use of FEA as a design tool still requires an understanding of FEA basics. This introduction to FEA will expose you to key concepts in FEA and give an overview of the FEA process, including the steps needed to conduct FEA, finite element types and orders, common assumptions that lead to serious errors in results, and areas you should be concerned with when discretizing a model. This SAE-produced course also includes an introduction to discretization error and convergence analysis and explains how they impact results in FEA projects. While the course module is just over 50 minutes in length, the estimated time to completion, including knowledge checks and the learning assessment is one hour. Instructor: Fee: $1495 Lee D.

Introduction to FMEA: What, Why, When and How 1 Hour | On Demand Course I.D.# PD531422ON
Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is an essential part of any product design or redesign activity. FMEA is a proactive, quantitative, qualitative, step-by-step approach for identifying and analyzing all potential points of failure in any product or service. This team-based activity can dramatically improve product performance. It can also reduce manufacturing issues at the component, system, and processing level. This module gives a high-level overview of FMEA facts: WHAT an FMEA is, WHY they are used, WHEN an FMEA is created, WHO is on the FMEA development team, and HOW the FMEA form is completed. The history of FMEAs, standards, and team responsi- bilities are also discussed.
