For many Designers and Engineers, this means using Solidworks' Suite of CAD/CAE software including Solidworks Simulation (FEA) to build optimized designs which meets performance and reliability targets. Linear FEA has many limitations, including over-predicting stresses, under-calculating large deflections, and not being able to account for friction. Plainly put - parts that are analyzed with linear FEA are over designed. And when every inch, every pound, and every dollar counts, nonlinear FEA is required. We are offering our Intro to Nonlinear FEA in Solidworks Simulation class for Creo users who want to **Become a Better Designer** through better analysis. At the end of this Nonlinear FEA class you will be able to: - Accurately predict stresses **past the yield point** of a material. - Confidently model** rubber & foam** and other hyperelastic materials. - Model **true part-to-part interactions**, including Friction & Separation. - Design **Higher Performing Products** which are both lighter and stiffer. - **Gain more confidence** in your analyses - Spend **Less Time Troubleshooting** errors, by learning the best practices. - Discuss ways to **Validate and Verify** your model by correlating simulation results to test data. ### Want more info?
