Why enroll

Here are some strong reasons why participants should join this online course:

1. Gain specialized knowledge in applying FEA according to ASME Section VIII, Division 2, Part 5—crucial for pressure vessel design and certification.

2. Learn only the necessary theoretical minimum, streamlining your understanding without overwhelming complexity—ideal for professionals who want clarity and focus.

3. Go beyond theory to understand how to implement FEA in real-world engineering scenarios, with a focus on stress classification, failure modes, and verification.

4. Bridges the Gap Between Theory and Industry Practice

5. Understand how FEA is used in actual Code compliance, which is often missing in general FEA courses.

6. Improves Confidence in Design-by-Analysis Methods

7. Avoid the trial-and-error approach by learning a concise, curated path designed specifically for pressure vessel engineers.

8. Mastering FEA for Code compliance is a highly valued skill in oil & gas, power, and process industries—making you a more competitive and capable engineer.

Course details

This course aims to provide a rigorous and application-focused foundation in the theoretical minimum required for understanding and applying Finite Element Analysis (FEA), specifically within the framework of ASME Section VIII, Division 2, Part 5. The course is designed for engineers and professionals involved in pressure vessel design and analysis, who seek a deep yet streamlined grasp of the essential mathematical and physical concepts underlying FEA.

Participants will first be introduced to the fundamentals of solid mechanics, variational methods, and the finite element formulation of structural problems. Emphasis will be placed on interpreting stress-strain behavior, boundary conditions, and convergence requirements critical to accurate simulations. Building upon this foundation, the course will transition into practical implementation aspects, including mesh design, element selection, and verification strategies.

A core focus of the course is on applying FEA to meet the rigorous design-by-analysis requirements of ASME Sec VIII, Div 2, Part 5. This includes stress classification, elastic-plastic analysis, fatigue evaluation, and compliance with failure modes specified in the Code. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with both the theoretical insight and practical tools to confidently apply FEA for Code-compliant design and evaluation of pressure-containing components.

The total duration of the online live course will be around 14 hours which will be conducted on 5 consecutive Saturdays (1:30 PM IST to 4:30 PM IST) starting from 4th October 2025 onwards.
