This student 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 training 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

Prerequisites: Prior to taking this course, we recommend that users complete the Creo Parametric: Introduction to Solid Modeling student guide, plus complete a minimum of 80 hours of Creo Parametric experience.

Please note: Training files within ASCENT's Creo training guides are compatible with the commercial version of the software, not the student edition.
