About this Course

This course will introduce you to the static stress, heat transfer, and linear dynamics analysis capabilities

available within Autodesk® Simulation Mechanical. You will learn about meshing, loads, and constraints for

each of the covered analysis types. Most importantly, you will learn how to evaluate the results. You will also

learn how to create custom presentations and reports of the results. This course is a prerequisite to Autodesk

Simulation Mechanical Part 2, where large scale motion, large deformation, large strain with contact,

geometric nonlinearity, and non-linear material models are covered.
