About the course

This course teaches you all the fundamentals of working with FEPipe and is beneficial for both new and existing users.

Many different aspects of FEPipe are covered, including the analysis of typical geometries such as heads and nozzles, but also custom attachments, build using plates, and assemblies of multiple models are discussed. The entire workflow is covered in detail including visual model verification, boundary conditions and result viewing options. Also advanced modelling features in FEPipe, flange analysis, thermal transient analysis, calculating mechanical eigenmodes and much more. Also, software courses like AxiPRO and Stressplot, which are part of the PRG Suite and relate to the use of FEPipe, are discussed.

There will also be extensive seminars on Part 5 of the ASME BPVC VIII-2 so that participants become proficient in conducting a “Design by Analysis” assessment.

The course consists of 7 online courses based on video lectures, software tutorials and exercises.
