Level 1: FEA Foundations
3-Level FEA Professional Program – Level 1: FEA Foundations
The FEA Foundations Programme is the first level of FloatSys’ 3-Level FEA Professional Program, designed to build a strong foundation in Finite Element Analysis for marine, offshore, structural, and related engineering professionals.
The programme covers fundamental FEA concepts and terminology, basic model setup and meshing using FEMAP, analysis of simple structural models, and interpretation of results through post-processing tools. Participants will also gain practical experience in geometry preparation, mesh repair, solid and midsurface modelling, axisymmetric analysis, buckling analysis, and basic marine/structural applications.
The programme is structured over 21 days, comprising 13 days of live interactive training followed by 7 days of practice, doubt clarification and individual query resolution, and a final practical evaluation. Participants receive mentor support throughout the programme.
Key outcomes include:
- Understand fundamental FEA concepts and principles
- Set up, mesh and analyse basic FE models using FEMAP
- Interpret FEA results using post-processing tools
- Analyse simple assemblies and structural components
- Perform buckling, axisymmetric and midsurface analyses
- Prepare and repair geometry and meshes for analysis
- Develop practical FEMAP modelling and analysis skills
- Demonstrate Level 1 competency through a practical evaluation
Programme Start Date: 15 October
