3D CAD (Product Design for Manufacturing) + FEA Training

Overview

3D CAD (Product Design for Manufacturing) + FEA Training is an advanced mechanical design program that integrates product development with engineering validation.

It trains students to go beyond modeling and actually analyze whether a design will work in real conditions—a key expectation in modern industries.

Core Modules

3D CAD – Product Design for Manufacturing

Parametric part modeling (solid & surface)
Assembly design & constraints
Sheet metal, weldments, plastic parts
Drawing extraction & detailing
Design for Manufacturing (DFM)
Design for Assembly (DFA)

Outcome: Ability to create production-ready mechanical designs

FEA (Finite Element Analysis)

Fundamentals of Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
Types of analysis:
- Static structural
- Thermal analysis
- Modal (vibration) analysis
- Fatigue basics
Meshing techniques
Boundary conditions & load application
Result interpretation (stress, strain, deformation, factor of safety)

Outcome: Ability to validate and optimize designs before manufacturing

Design Validation & Optimization

Stress concentration identification
Weight reduction techniques
Material selection based on performance
Failure prediction & correction
Iterative design improvement

This bridges the gap between design engineer → analysis/design validation engineer

Industry-Oriented Workflow

CAD → Simulation → Design modification → Final validation
Case studies from automotive & manufacturing sectors
Real-world component analysis (brackets, frames, shafts, housings)

Projects & Practical Exposure

Component-level analysis projects
Assembly-level basic simulations
Design + FEA integrated project
Report generation (industry-style documentation)
