Introduction to Creo Simulate
Description This course is designed for new users who want to enhance their product design with simulation and analysis to reduce costly physical prototyping while increasing the products durability, reliability and safety.
Description
Creo Simulate enables you to simulate designs to establish the effects of structural and thermal loads on the products performance.
In this course, you will understand the fundamental principles of the finite element method and how to perform simulations using Creo Simulate. The course includes hands-on workshops that guide you through the user interface explaining how simulations are setup and how to interpret the results. You will cover mechanical, thermal and design optimisation studies.
On completing the course, you will be able to perform engineering analyses and optimisation studies on your product designs. At the end of each module, you will complete a skills assessment. This assessment will help reinforce your understanding of the topic covered.
