This course is structured in such a way that anyone new to Efficient software can download it and start using it in less than an hour.

By the end of this course you will be able to develop Command files for the following Finite Element Analysis that can be used in Code_Aster:

• Beam analysis
• Shell analysis
• Axi-Symmetric analysis
• 3D analysis
• 3D assembly analysis
• Add multiple material in one analysis
• Add stepping function to loads

All command files generated during this course will be provided at the end of the course so that you can download them and use them to test the course content.

This course is structured such that within one hour you will be proficient in using Efficient software and will be able to generate command files of your own.

Efficient is the software developed to help users of Code-Aster to generate .comm files quickly and accurately.

Features of Efficient:

• Fully in English
• Easy to use Wizard Format
• No need to remember Code_Aster commands
• No need to check if you have missed a comma “,” or a Bracket “(” or ending Semi Colon “;”
• Can be used on Multi Platform (Windows, Linux, Mac OSX)
• Removes guesswork of what type of results are required
• You can select the Units that you want (Unit Independent)
• Types of Loads that can be applied : Gravity, Pressure, Force on Face and Force on Edge
• Saves Boundary Condition and Loads separately in the .comm file
• Has library of Materials
• User can add stepping function to the Load
• User can open .comm files generated by Efficient and re-use them
• Types of analysis performed are Beam, Shell, Axi-symmetric, 3D, 3D-Assembly, Multiple Elements
• User can select what results they want in MED file
