This course will introduce you to the static stress, heat transfer, and linear dynamics analyses capabilities available within Autodesk® Simulation Mechanical and Multiphysics. 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 II, where large scale motion, large deformation, large strain with contact, and non-linear material models are covered.
