Take Your FEA Skillsto the NEXT LEVEL

Yes! Whether you're a CAD designer looking to get into simulation, an engineering student, or an engineer looking to improve your FEA skills, this program is designed to help you take the next step.

You'll start with the fundamentals, apply your skills to real engineering projects, and move on to more advanced assembly simulations, building the skills and confidence to tackle more challenging FEA problems.

Not at all! You can start from zero.

The program starts with the FEA fundamentals and gradually moves into more advanced engineering simulations.

If you already have FEA experience, you can strengthen your understanding, fill knowledge gaps, and learn a more consistent approach to solving engineering problems.

You learn the WHY behind every simulation decision, not just which buttons to click.

The program is built around real engineering projects, not just toy examples. You'll learn how to approach problems, make modelling decisions, and understand your results.

And you'll learn from an FEA expert with 14+ years of industry experience who still works in the field.

Free tutorials are a great place to start!

But what happens when your next simulation looks nothing like the example you followed?

Most tutorials focus on solving a specific problem. areaFEA helps you connect the different parts of FEA, understand the decisions behind each simulation, and apply what you've learned to new engineering challenges.

Instead of jumping between disconnected tutorials, you get one complete training program built around real projects.

That's exactly what areaFEA is designed to help you do.

You won't just work with idealized examples. You'll face real engineering challenges: messy geometries, complex contacts, uncertain loads, meshing problems, and results that don't always make sense.

You'll learn how to approach these situations, understand the decisions behind each simulation, and apply that knowledge to your own engineering projects.

The program uses SOLIDWORKS Simulation (version 2022 or newer).

Why SOLIDWORKS? It's widely used in engineering and allows us to work directly with CAD models, making it a great tool for learning and applying FEA.

But this program isn't about learning which buttons to click. It's about understanding the engineering decisions behind every simulation.

The methodology you learn applies to other FEA software, including ANSYS, Abaqus, and NASTRAN. The interfaces and specific tools may change, but the fundamental engineering principles remain the same.

The software is the tool. The methodology is the skill.

Yes! SOLIDWORKS offers an affordable option for independent learners.

For this program, I recommend SOLIDWORKS Design Premium for Students (not the basic Makers version).

It includes SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium, covering the advanced simulation tools used throughout the training, including bolted connections, contacts, and nonlinear analysis.

You can find more information and get your license at solidworks.com/product/students.

You're not on your own!

You can ask me directly inside the areaFEA Academy whenever you get stuck, have a question, or need help understanding a simulation.

I personally check the Academy every day, reviewing students' questions and helping them work through their challenges so they can keep moving forward.

Immediately! And your access is for life.

As soon as you complete your purchase, you can start learning.

There's no deadline to finish the program. Learn at your own pace, revisit lessons whenever you need them, and return to the training whenever you face new engineering challenges.

You're covered by our 14-day money-back guarantee.

Go through the training and see if it's right for you.

If not, just email us within 14 days of your purchase and we'll refund your payment in full.

One simple email. Full refund.
