Some of you many know that I have tried several times in the past to get a Central Ohio Cosmos/Simulation User Group off the ground. Each attempt has been unsuccessful for a variety of reasons.
I am convinced that the lack of success has been for 1 of 2 reasons:
1. There simply aren’t enough users of Cosmos/Simulation to support a user group based on the percentage attendance we see in the SW User Groups or
2. I am simply not getting the information to the correct people.
I find the second reason very difficult to deal with – VARs have done a great job with trying to get the word out, but their contact often isn’t the guy using FEA either.
The first reason is something I can help with though – and here is what I want to do. I would like to offer a weekly seminar (FEA 101) at MJ Engineering starting in May. Days/times are flexible right now during this planning phase – look to see more in April.
The purpose of this FEA 101 seminar will be to introduce people to FEA that are not familiar with it on an everyday basis. So, if you have people working for you that use FEA but you don’t know what questions to ask, or you have been asked to start using FEA but are way overwhelmed by the whole process, or you just want to learn more about FEA in general, then send me an email (rwand_@_mjengineering.com) and we can get the seminar started.
