- [Instructor] So congratulations on working through
to the end of the course.
Now it's time to think about some next steps.
I hope that shells, beams, and trusses
are useful new elements types to add to your FEA knowledge.
What I recommend now is to experiment.
In particular, try different starting points,
surface, sheet metal, weldment, and solid geometry.
The more sophisticated you can become within solid works,
I think the more you're gonna get out of these particular
types of elements.
Develop an integrated workflow
between geometry manipulation and meshing.
There's really no right way of doing it.
Depending on your particular type of structures,
you're gonna find different variations on the workflows
I presented that will be most useful to you.
Look out for more FEA courses from me
coming along in the future.
Now a little bit about me.
My online presence.
This is my website and here I present a lot of
free FEA resource material,
for hints and tips,
links to my e-learning courses.
So you'll need to sign up.
Just give a username and a password
and then you're a member of the free site.
I also write for Digital Engineering Magazine.
I've written over 60 articles over recent years.
I have an Author Portal which has a back catalog
of all of the articles that I've written.
I'm a great believer in LinkedIn
and so you're very welcome to connect to me.
Again, I've put in posts and full articles
about things to do with FEA.
I also have a group, Finite Element Analysis Training.
You're very welcome to join that.
General contact for mentoring.
Live training.
FEA consultancy.
This is my email address
and you're very welcome to contact.
