ABAQUS FEA TRAINING
WHY TAKE A COURSE FROM FEA SERVICES
QUALITY & PERFORMANCE
Live one-to-one interaction with the instructor is assured by the small class size.
The course is focused on using the software rather than going through many slides and bullet points of theory. (i.e., we DO NOT innundate you with endless slides and talking, but rather use more of an interactive “learn by doing” approach)
We guide you through working examples – step by step. This hands-on approach helps to make the material stick such that the students can quickly begin to use the software with efficacy.
COST & EFFICIENCY
Compared to traditional methods of providing Abaqus classes, as still used by the big-box resellers, we do not spend time on (the many) unnecessary program options. Instead, there is a clear focus on robust workflows to efficiently get the job done.
Our costs are significantly lower than other companies for three main reasons:
- Less company overhead = lower cost.
- No time wasted on esoteric functions.
- We LOVE teaching this stuff!
WEEKEND FLEXIBILITY
As is always an issue, sometimes our project load simply demands that we cannot divert a full week or even a few days to a training course.
Our weekend time slots can perhaps be more easily justified versus the traditional, more expensive options which are only offered during week days.
COURSES OFFERED & DESCRIPTIONS
All of our fully interactive online classes are instructor-led by an experienced Abaqus engineer. Students are encouraged to ask questions about the material at hand as well as topics pertaining to their application of interest. (i.e., pick our brains!)
By enrolling in one of the upcoming classes as listed below, you are guaranteed a spot in the class because there is no minimum attendance requirement. Simply call us at +1 (256) 656-5276 to register.
Although there is no minimum student enrollment required, we do limit the number of attendees to a reasonable maximum so that we ensure that each student has access to full interactive dialogue with the facilitator through mutual screen sharing, etc.
Customized Abaqus Course
(ACC) – “X” Days
$1500.00 USD / Day
Our FLAGSHIP course offering is a custom/semi-custom Abaqus class developed just for you and your company. This course can contain a variety of beginner and/or intermediate topics as well as a focus on your specific application(s). The cost as shown is a fair estimate of what we have provided in the past and a discussion of your needs is required to finalize a quote. At this price point, we do tend to limit the class to eight (8) students to assure quality personal interaction, and it is assumed to be given online. We can also present the course on-site at your location, so let’s have a discussion!

Basic Nonlinear Structural Analysis with Abaqus
(ANL) – 3.0 Days
$900.00 USD / Person
This class is ideal for those students new to Abaqus and Abaqus/CAE and perhaps has had some experience in the past with other codes, or some level of education of the Finite Element Method. Another ideal student would be one who had used Abaqus in the past yet could use a refresher. That said, a student who is completely beginning to learn FEA will also be able to progress in the use of Abaqus with good efficacy. The emphasis of ANL is: nonlinear structural stress-displacement analysis, which still today will cover 70-80% of the analysis requirements in the field. A pre-requisite for the student is to have local access to the full version of Abaqus to effectively attend.

Intermediate Topic Fasteners
(AFS) – 1.0 Days
$400.00 USD / Person
Using fasteners in Abaqus and doing fastener analysis is a typical requirement for some industries. Stemming from the ground-level ANL course, we now walk you through a variety of robust workflows for how to best utilize Abaqus for these fastener related tasks, including methods for speeding up the process of setting up your fastener patterns. Experience running Abaqus/CAE is a pre-requisite as is having local access to the Abaqus program.

Intermediate Topic Contact Simulation
(ACS) – 1.0 Days
$400.00 USD / Person
One reason engineers choose to use Abaqus is due it’s best-in-class contact simulation capabilities. In this class, we take a deeper dive into the options of and pros-and-cons of the various methods in Abaqus to simulate contact, and share what we have found to be robust. Knowledge of running Abaqus/CAE is a pre-requisite as is having local access to the Abaqus program.

Intermediate Topic Inelastic (Nonlinear) Buckling
(ANB) – 2.0 Days
$700.00 USD / Person
How do we manage the analysis/simulation of a buckling phenomenon? Why is this a nonlinear event? What are the limitations of the typical linear eigenvalue bucking analysis and how would it fit into our workflow? In this class, we discuss the evolution of the buckling process as is develops through one of your structures during the simulation of your loaded assembly. Experience running Abaqus/CAE is a pre-requisite as is having local access to the Abaqus program.
