FEA Training & Knowledge Transfer
Lanza Engineers offers hands-on FEA training tailored to your team's needs, from introductory courses for junior engineers to advanced workshops on nonlinear analysis, explicit dynamics, and Python automation for FEA workflows.

What We Offer
Fundamentals of FEA
Theory and practical application of finite element methods for structural engineers. Meshing, boundary conditions, convergence, and result interpretation.
Nonlinear Analysis
Material and geometric nonlinearity, contact, plasticity, and buckling. Hands-on exercises with real offshore structural models.
Explicit Dynamics with LS-DYNA
Ship collision, blast, dropped object simulations. From model setup to engineering interpretation of results.
Python for FEA Workflows
Automating pre/post-processing, parametric studies, and reporting. Reduce manual effort and increase consistency.
Software-Specific Training
Tailored courses for ANSYS Mechanical, Simcenter NASTRAN, LS-DYNA, LS-PrePost, and SACS.
Tailored to Your Team
Whether on-site at your office or at our Rotterdam headquarters, we design each programme around your team's experience level and project needs. Training can be delivered as intensive workshops, multi-day courses, or ongoing mentoring embedded in your project.
Frequently Asked Questions
What topics does your FEA training cover?
