Course Description
The NX Nastran Dynamics Analysis course is a comprehensive presentation of the dynamic capabilities available in NX Nastran. It covers both fundamental and advanced topics with an emphasis on practical applications and example problems. The class is focused on the application of NX Nastran to solve real world dynamics problems. The fundamentals of structural dynamics and the application of numerical methods to solve dynamics problems are covered. The theory is then applied to the solution of real world dynamics problems using the dynamic analysis capabilities of NX Nastran. Delivery is performed in the context of NX Nastran ASCII input and output files and not in the context of commercially available pre- and postprocessors.
This course is intended for persons who will be using NX Nastran to perform dynamic analyses to predict structural behavior under steady state and transient conditions
