Structural Analysis and Design for Formula SAE with MSC Nastran, MSC Apex, and MSC Apex Gen. Design

Racing vehicles are complex structures that must be strong, stiff, and as light as possible. Finite element analysis tools, such as MSC Apex and MSC Nastran, enable engineers to predict the performance of these structures. Tools like MSC Apex Generative Design take structural requirements from users and create optimized geometries in response.
In this webinar, you will learn how to,
*Perform stress analysis on an upright
*Analyze a composite panel
*Use generative design

Great video, It's about time manufacturers start directly supporting student projects, and offer case-study or workflow examples for familiarization and training
