Description

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
This course is designed for engineers who already understand the basics of the Finite Element Method (FEM), but struggle to apply it to real-world structural engineering problems.
Many FEM courses focus on theory or simplified examples, leaving a gap between knowing the software and knowing how to approach an actual engineering task. This course is built to close that gap by focusing on a realistic shipboard crane foundation and the engineering decisions required to assess it properly.
Using Siemens NX, you will follow a complete, industry-oriented workflow for the structural design and analysis of a crane foundation installed on a ship. Instead of abstract explanations, the course demonstrates how FEM is applied in practice, from preparing the structural model and defining realistic loading conditions to evaluating structural and buckling strength.
Throughout the course, you will learn how to
- Build and prepare a finite element model of a shipboard crane foundation
- Prepare the geometry for meshing and maintain appropriate element quality
- Define realistic load cases representing crane operation
- Apply loads and boundary conditions to the structural model
- Run the FE analysis and evaluate stress results
- Identify structural weaknesses and develop practical design recommendations
- Perform mesh refinement and identify areas requiring special attention
- Recognize stress concentrations and distinguish them from critical structural issues
- Assess the strength of the structure according to classification society requirements
- Perform buckling checks for critical structural components
Each step is explained with a focus on practical engineering decisions, helping you understand not only how to perform the analysis, but also how to interpret the results and decide what needs to be improved.
By the end of the course, you will have a structured understanding of how to approach, build, analyze, and assess a crane foundation using FEM, from the initial structural model to the final engineering conclusions.
No unnecessary theory. Only what you need to perform and assess a real engineering analysis.
