The NX Nastran Advanced Dynamic Analysis (Femap) course continues where the NX Nastran Introduction to Dynamic Analysis course left off in teaching NX Nastran's dynamic analysis capabilities. It covers fundamental methods of dynamic response, including both modal and direct analysis. There is an emphasis on practical applications and enhancing the students' engineering judgment with respect to dynamic response. The fundamentals of structural dynamics theory and the numerical methods used to solve them are presented.

The course covers the linear dynamic response capabilities of NX Nastran, including normal modes analysis, transient and frequency response, residual vectors, and enforced motion. The class is focused on NX Nastran and most of the material applies independently of pre- or postprocessor. However, additional material is available for demonstration of use with Femap.
