Description
Course Overall Theme
Hello Everyone, I welcome you all to the new course on Abaqus CAE in our orville academy's library.
Center focus of the course is to make you familiar with static and dynamic analysis. Course Start with introduction to theoretical concepts which we need during the course, so even if you are beginner and don't know from where to start, well this course is perfect place for you. Course has been divided to into multiple sections which covers everything that you need to know to start working or execute project independently. Wherever possible, More attention was given to verifying the CAE solution with manual calculations. Various tips, tricks and industry insights are given during the course so user can align themselves with how people working in organization think or do things.
