Course Overview

SHARE

The Inventor Nastran software is a finite element analysis (FEA) tool that is embedded directly in the Autodesk Inventor software as an Add-In. It is powered by the Autodesk Nastran solver and offers simulation capabilities specifically tailored for designers and analysts as a tool for predicting the physical behavior of parts or assemblies under various boundary conditions.

Course Objectives

After completing this course participants should be able to understand and/or create:

  • Activate and navigate the Autodesk Inventor Nastran environment to conduct FEA analyses 
  • Create, edit, and assign idealisations and materials 
  • Manage the creation, setup, and modification of analyses and subcases that are used to analyse both static and dynamic models 
  • Constraints with the required degrees of freedom and assign them to entities 
  • Loads that accurately represent the magnitude and location of the loads the model will experience in the working environment 
  • Connector elements to simulate how a physical connector such as a rod, cable, spring, rigid body, or bolt will affect the model 
  • Surface Contact elements to define contact between interacting components 
  • Assign global and local mesh settings 
  • Run an Autodesk Inventor Nastran analysis 
  • Review and create result plots for analysing the results 
  • Activate and navigate the Autodesk Inventor Nastran environment to conduct FEA analyses 

Who Should Attend?

This course is designed for Inventor users who would like to analyse and further optimise their designs through linear and non-linear analyses.

Pre-requisites

  • The user should have Finite Element Analysis (FEA) knowledge, can interpret results, and in general, know how a model should be setup for an analysis
