I'm glad I completed the practical basic finite element analysis course by Dominique Madier and Steffan Evans. The course name (proper modeling techniques) is what really grabbed my attention. After watching Dominique's videos with Jousef Murad, I was confident his course would answer my questions about FEA. Here are some of the common challenges engineers face when getting started with FEA, even through self-learning like me: -Verifying Model Accuracy: How can you tell if your model is accurately represented like the real-world scenario? -Sensitivity to Parameters: Even small changes to parameters used in the FEA can significantly affect the results. This goes beyond just loads and constraints; it includes considerations from the initial CAD geometry to the verification and validation process, so how you can tell that each step of the FEA you have is well represented, if the results are acceptable or not and how to obtain the good results of the FEA. All these questions and more are answered through the course.

This course cover all basic aspects and clarify all sort of doubts which are not possible to cover in a single module in the university program. As a stress engineer, I recommend to all people who are working fully or partially in FE domain to design and analyze your structure of interest. Thanks Dominique Madier for such a wonderful, information packet basic course. You deserve big kudos from the global FE community.

Firstly, the content of this course really helps to get introduced into FEA in a correct manner. It shows concepts and conventions that are very important to know when performing an FEA. Consequently, it is very useful to avoid mistakes in the pre- and post-processing steps. Moreover, it is very applied to the practical use which implies that no actual deep theoretical background is needed to understand the content. Secondly, the lecture videos are very dynamic and understandable using the help of several examples that are mentioned to explain the content. Additionally, it includes tutorials that adequately show what is taught in the lecture in a practical perspective. Lastly, Mr. Madier is very responsive to questions which can be related to any aspect in FEA and his answers are very helpful mentioning important background on the topic. I strongly recommend it if you want to get into the world of FEA for practical applications.
