Solid Edge Simulation: Finite Element Analysis
Learn the application of finite element analysis (FEA) in Solid Edge Simulation to analyze, visualize, and optimize designs before even producing a prototype.
Finding the Art in Engineering
Explore the artistic and creative side of Engineering with this course which provides a perfect blend of art, creative thinking, design concept, and engineering.
Generative Modeling
Generative design is a radical departure from conventional design practices and is by definition the creation of shapes decided by a set of rules, or in other words, software algorithms. In this course, you will learn how to optimize products for minimal mass with goal-driven generative design.
Solid Edge Subdivision Modeling
Learn advanced design techniques, such as subdivision modeling, generative design, and 3D printing to create great products.
