What Engineers Say About FEA Academy

Reviews from engineers who have trained and worked with Dominique Madier.

Incredibly useful to get into the world of FEA. Firstly, the content of this program really helps to get introduced into FEA in a correct manner. It shows concepts and conventions that are very important to know when performing an FEA. Consequently, it is very useful to avoid mistakes in the pre- and post-processing steps. Moreover, it is very applied to the practical use which implies that no actual deep theoretical background is needed to understand the content. Secondly, the content is very dynamic and understandable using the help of several examples that are mentioned to explain the content. Additionally, it includes tutorials that adequately show what is taught in the lecture in a practical perspective. Lastly, Mr. Madier is very responsive to questions which can be related to any aspect in FEA, and his answers are very helpful, mentioning important background on the topic. I strongly recommend it if you want to get into the world of FEA for practical applications.

Excellent, The Practical Basic FEA program has been above and beyond my wildest expectations!! Thanks to Dominique for putting this together.

The Practical Nonlinear FEA course goes above and beyond into FEA. From laying the foundations of the method to more advanced topics. I highly recommend also this course to others. Thanks!

This program has been an absolute game-changer for me. Prior to taking it, I had just started a job as a mechanical designer and had recently completed my undergraduate degree, where I took an FEA class. Although interesting, that class did not prepare me at all for the job. This course helped me understand proper modeling techniques and gave me much more confidence in my analysis and modeling choices. I would especially like to highlight the lessons on meshing, RBEs, and MPCs, where I was able to identify my mistakes and learn new techniques. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to take their understanding of FEA to the next level.

Practical Basic FEA is an excellent program for reviewing the concepts of FEA. The PDFs provided along with the course and mentoring sessions will be a continuous source of revision.

Practical Nonlinear FEA is an excellent program for reviewing the concepts of nonlinear analysis. It has provided me with more confidence and clarity on how to perform nonlinear analysis in my day-to-day work life.

I highly recommend this program, as it is comprehensive and really explains the essential aspects of structural analysis. I am a civil engineer, and I found the program useful to deepen my knowledge on meshing and modeling of bolted connections. Together with the book, it provides a great boost to the understanding of FEA.

A clear, well-structured introduction to practical finite element analysis. The concepts are explained in a simple, approachable way with real-world relevance, making it easier to build confidence and apply what you learn. A great starting point for anyone wanting a solid foundation in FEA.

Perfect start for new stress engineers in FE domain. This program covers all basic and advanced aspects and clarify all sort of doubts which are not possible to cover in a single module in the university program. As a stress engineer, I recommend to all people who are working fully or partially in FE domain to design and analyze your structure of interest. Thanks, Dominique Madier, for such a wonderful mentoring program. You deserve big kudos from the global FE community.

Thanks to Dominique Madier and Steffan Evans my knowledge about FEA has changed. I have learned from this training so many basic modeling techniques, the importance of the application of those practices and the risk to ignore them, FEA is a tool that must be used wisely. FEA is not able to solve the problems by itself it requires to understand the problem and the engineering judgment to validate if the outcomes has sense or not. It was a different training and it was very illustrative.

I followed the Nonlinear FEA program by Dominique and found it to be an excellent deep dive into the complexities of nonlinear behavior in FEA. The program is very well-structured and suited for engineers or researchers. The course does an outstanding job explaining the three primary types of nonlinearity. Each concept is introduced systematically with clear theoretical explanations supported by practical examples. Dominique’s teaching style is concise and technically precise, making it easier to grasp challenging topics. I particularly appreciated the emphasis on physical interpretation of nonlinear phenomena. The inclusion of real-world simulation issues adds significant practical value. Overall, this program is a highly valuable resource for engineers working on complex simulations involving nonlinear behavior. Dominique Madier's expertise is evident, and his ability to convey intricate topics in an accessible way makes this mentoring a strong recommendation for anyone serious about advancing their FEA knowledge.

A very nice program on the FE Method. I recently completed the program on the basics of the Finite Element Method, and I was very impressed.

FEA Simplified. It’s been a while since I used some of the contents of this program in my engineering practice. Dominique simplified the theories and many of the principles came back to me quickly.

On top of the basic program, the nonlinear one is very good. Dominique Madier clearly put a lot of effort into this. He effectively demonstrates proper modeling techniques for non-linear analysis. I highly recommend it. I'm pretty sure it will be invaluable for my career.

Nice experience. I enjoyed it very well. Watch the videos at least twice. The program is highly packed, so you give adequate time to understand each and every topic in the course. I really enjoyed it. Thanks.

This program exceeded my expectations. The material presented was highly practical, and the discussion groups offered valuable opportunities to clarify any uncertainties with Dominique. As a result, I now have a clearer understanding of my shortcomings in performing nonlinear analysis and how to address them effectively.

Very practical program and easy to follow. It is so easy to understand, and it is really practical. Thank you.

This is more than just another FEA program; it's a framework for versatile problem solving and a shield against the uncritical acceptance of digital output. Immense gratitude to Professor Dominique Madier for designing a journey that emphasized this crucial philosophy. The edge it gives us isn't just over others, but over our own potential for error.

“Practical Basic Finite Element Analysis” provides a clear and well-structured introduction to the fundamental principles of FEA. The program focuses on building a solid conceptual understanding rather than simply demonstrating how to use a specific software. Through practical and well-chosen examples, it clearly illustrates how different modeling assumptions and decisions can influence the results of an analysis. I found the program very insightful and helpful for strengthening my understanding of the fundamentals of finite element analysis. It provides the necessary background to better interpret simulation results and assess whether they are consistent with the expected structural behavior. Overall, it was a very valuable learning experience, and I am very satisfied with the quality and clarity of the program.
