Enhance your proficiency with FEPipe software through a comprehensive training program. Suitable for both new and experienced users, this course covers a wide spectrum of FEPipe aspects, including analysis of standard geometries, custom attachments, plate-based constructions, and assemblies of multiple models. It provides an in-depth exploration of the entire workflow, covering model verification, boundary conditions, and result visualization options. Additionally, advanced modeling features, flange analysis, thermal transient analysis, mechanical eigenmodes calculation, and more are discussed, along with software modules like AxiPRO and Stressplot from the PRG Suite, which are closely related to FEPipe.
The training also includes in-depth seminars on Part 5 of ASME BPVC VIII-2, ensuring participants are well-versed in ‘Design by Analysis’ assessments.
This course comprises 7 modules. Upon course completion, you’ll enjoy one year of unlimited access to the course content and discussion forum, allowing you to revisit modules as needed to reinforce your knowledge for project applications
