How to learn FEA and how the FEA system works

If you ask a professor about how FEA works, he will probably talk to you about the finite element method, strong and weak formulation of physical differential equations and the Ritz Method...

But let's be 100% frank...

Will it help you to understand FEA simulation practically?

Maybe...If you do a PhD and spend ten thousand hours on it...

But as an engineer, I always thought it wasn't a very "practical" way to explain how FEA simulation works...

Because there is always this duality between theory and practice...

People who undertand it in theory aren't necessarily able to apply it on real life problems and people who actually use it on real life engineering problems aren't necessarily able either to teach and articulate clearly what they know to make it understandable for you.

That's why when you ask an experienced engineer about how it works, you usually get a very cryptic response... maybe he understands well what he does, but he just isn't able to explain it...

( Sometimes you also get people who think they understand and just tell you to read more books and go back to college when you ask for more details... but that's another story ;-) )

Fortunately, I have been at the cross-road of those 2 paths and through this blog, I have been able to develop an idea about how FEA simulation actually works.

I call it the "FEA System".

...and to explain it to you in details, I decided to make a video about it:

If you like this video, you have to know that this is just a FRACTION of what I have for you inside the Advanced FEA newsletter...

So, if you are willing to go to the next step and learn more and more about FEA to become a true FEA simulation specialist, you can join the Advanced FEA newsletter and I'll let you know how to do exactly that!

I'll give you both simple tips to do better simulation, but also I'll provide to you with some much more advanced strategies if you are really willing to learn and upgrade your game to the next level...

To join the newsletter, just enter your name and email below and you will be more than welcome!

(Of course, You will also receive my FEA free guides and courses as a welcome bonus!)
