The NX Nastran DDAM Analysis (NX) course offers training in the performance of the Dynamic Design Analysis Method using NX Nastran. DDAM is a U.S. Navy developed analytical procedure for evaluating the design of equipment subject to shock loading. The student will learn to use the NX Nastran DDAM solution (SOL 187) through a presentation of lecture materials and the completion of example problems. 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 NX.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
