Course Description
The Response Analysis with I-deas NX Series course offers training in the use of Response Analysis I-deas NX Series for analysis of mechanical components subjected to dynamic loads. In addition the course covers the general theory and methods behind the software and the consideration important to accurate results such as modal sufficiency. The course also provides opportunities for hands-on practice with Response Analysis I-deas NX Series software. A variety of examples will be used to demonstrate typical approaches for problems with transient, sinusoidal, shock and random excitations. Class participants are invited to submit examples of problems.
This course is intended for:
- Designers and Engineers who need to characterize dynamic responses including transient, sinusoidal, random, and shock spectrum.
Intermediate
- A background in finite element modeling and analysis. It is assumed that attendees of this class have had previous experience with finite element analysis
- I-deas Analysis Pre and Post-processing course or general working knowledge
- I-deas Linear Solvers course or equivalent experience using the Simulation application of the I-deas product
- Instruction will include a review of structural dynamics theory for single degree-of-freedom systems subjected to various forms of vibration. This portion of the class will also describe basic equations for vibration and numerical formulations as related to finite element methods for dynamics analysis.
- Students will learn relevant model building techniques, methods for creating and processing functions and procedures for computing motion, force and stress responses as functions of time or frequency. Other topics include selection of damping assumptions, postprocessing and interpretation of results.
- We will also introduce an alternate method for performing random vibration analysis. This design-oriented approach is based on equivalent transient excitations for random environments. Design for drop shock specifications will also be covered.
