Become CAE Analyst with Abaqus Implicit Solver & Hypermesh

🎓 Become a CAE Analyst with Abaqus Implicit Solver & Hypermesh: Professional Guide to Non-linear Analysis

Course Structure 🚀

If you're just starting out in the field of Computational Analysis Engineering (CAE), I recommend beginning with my foundational course:

1. Complete Altair Hypermesh & Optistruct Course - This is a must for anyone new to CAE or those unfamiliar with preprocessing tools like Hypermesh.
2. Complete Course on Preprocessing using ANSA - Similarly, if you're already comfortable with Hypermesh, this course will bridge the gap for those who are familiar with ANSA.

This course is tailored for professionals already working in CAE or those who have experience with preprocessing tools. It delves into the intricacies of Non-Linear analysis, a critical skill for engineers using Abaqus to tackle real-world problems. 🛠️
