Introduction to SimXpert FE Workspaces (SMX101)
SMX101 is the introductory course for new SimXpert users. Students will master the basic skills required to use SimXpert in typical MCAE applications. A brief introduction to building and running templates is also included. SMX101 emphasizes practical skills development through comprehensive, hands-on laboratory sessions. Students will learn to build analysis models using SimXpert, define material properties, create boundary conditions, apply loads, and submit their job for analysis and postprocess results.
