FKM Guideline – Computational Verification and Simulation

Up to date on the 7th edition of the guideline

Overview

Training Advanced

Learn how to perform static strength and fatigue strength verification according to FKM and the use of FEM for automated workflows. This training is offered as a 3-day course.

Duration
3 days

Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of Ansys Mechanical

Software used
Ansys Mechanical, FKM inside Ansys

Benefits
  • Understand calculated strength verification according to the FKM guideline
  • Implementation of the FKM verification in the simulation
  • Discuss your own application
  • “FKM inside Ansys” license free for three months

Description

The FKM guideline is a guideline issued by Forschungskuratorium Maschinenbau e.V. (FKM) for computational strength verification for general machine components. The guideline provides a uniformly structured calculation algorithm for all application cases consisting of instructions, formulas, tables and illustrations. In this training course, you will learn guideline-compliant strength verification with “local” stresses in accordance with the FKM guideline for both non-welded and welded components. We will also show you just how quickly the automated workflow FKM inside Ansys will allow you to conduct assessments not only for individual verification items but for the entire structure or a multitude of weld seams.

After this training, you will understand the methodology of computational strength verification according to the FKM guideline. You will become familiar with the procedure for static strength verification and fatigue analysis for welded and non-welded components. You will know how to implement the FKM guideline in the simulation. You will have an overview of the stress concepts for the weld seam calculation.

This training is ideal for calculation engineers, test engineers, designers and anyone who wants to know more about the FKM guideline. You will be able to discuss your own applications during the course.

Do you have questions on the training?

When will I receive the final confirmation for my training booking?

Straight after you sign up, an automatic confirmation of receipt will be sent to the email addresses you provided. Once you have successfully verified the data you provided, you will receive your personalized sign-up confirmation, containing further information on course fees, the billing address, etc., by email within two to three working days.  

As soon as the minimum number of attendees has been reached, you will receive a final training confirmation containing further information. If you have booked an on-site training, we recommend that you wait until you have received this final confirmation before booking your travel and accommodation.

If the minimum number of attendees is not reached, we reserve the right to cancel the training seven days before it is due to start at the latest. We are happy to inform you on changing your booking to an alternative date. Please note that we accept no liability for hotel or travel bookings that attendees have already made.

When is the sign-up deadline for a training?

Training places will generally be allocated based on the order in which attendees sign up. For this reason, we always recommend booking for your desired date as early as possible.

As long as a coures still has free places, it can be booked.

At what time do the training courses begin and end?

Usually the training courses start at 9:00 am and end at 5:00 pm of the respective local time. The actual course times will be stated in the booking confirmation. Please note that, depending on the training host, there may be a possible time shift between your and the provider's local time.
