This student guide was written using the 2017.0.0.27 build of the Autodesk\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e Nastran\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e In-CAD 2017 software. The software is a finite element analysis (FEA) tool that is embedded directly in the Autodesk\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e Inventor\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e software as an Add-In. It is powered by the Autodesk Nastran solver and offers simulation capabilities specifically tailored for designers and analysts as a tool for predicting the physical behavior of parts or assemblies under various boundary conditions. Through a hands-on, practice-intensive curriculum, students acquire the knowledge required to work in the Autodesk Nastran In-CAD environment to setup and conduct FEA analyzes on part and assembly models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTopics Covered\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eActivate and navigate the Autodesk Nastran In-CAD environment to conduct FEA analyzes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate, edit, and assign idealizations and materials (linear, nonlinear, and composites).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManage the creation, setup, and modification of analyses and subcases that are used to analyze both static and dynamic models.
