How-to videos from Simulia on Finite Element modelling in direct link with my Virtual Manufacturing course

Last update: January 5th, 2020

Simulia is currently publishing very interesting how-to (popularisation) videos on Finite Element modelling on YouTube.

Some of these videos are in direct link with the Virtual Manufacturing course I give to students of 2nd year of Master in Mechanical Engineering.

I will include them on this page as Simulia will publish them and in the order of the lessons of my course.

Video 1: Introduction to Finite Element Analysis

Intruder: Silly Putty


An "intruder" video presenting the Silly Putty, a visco-elastic material.

I use it to illustrate one of the lesson of the course on the material behaviour.

Video 2: Element Classification in Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

Video 3: Basics of Element Selection

Video 4: Basics of Stress and Strain

Video 5: Basics of Stress Limit

Video 6: Perturbation Step in FEA
