Navigating Xcelerator Academy

Once you have received access to Xcelerator Academy, you will have access to an extensive on-demand library of training materials.

It is important to develop a solid understanding of a few of the core Siemens applications, including:

  1. NX
  2. Simcenter 3D

The on-demand training courses can be accessed from the Learning Memberships menu (memberships may vary).

Getting Started with NX On Demand Training

Select NX from the Category drop down menu. The courses shown below cover the essential NX task-based processes that new users will utilize when creating and editing parts:

  • NX Basic Design
  • New Sketch
  • Product Design Fundamentals
  • Molded & Cast Part Design
  • Loading and working with assemblies
  • Design in Context of an Assembly
  • NX Surface Modeling Processes
  • Documenting with Drafting
  • Sheet Metal Design
  • Model Based Definition using PMI

At the completion of these courses, you will be able to develop parametric solid models, assembly models, and drawings using the master model concept.

 

Getting Started with Simcenter 3D On Demand Training

Select Simcenter 3D from the Learning Memberships Category drop down menu. The courses shown below cover the essential Simcenter 3D functionality that new users will utilize when developing simulation models and generating results:

  • Fundamentals of using Pre/Post
  • Preparing the Model for Analysis
  • Solving the Model
  • Reviewing Analysis Results
  • Processes and Solutions
  • Introduction to Response Dynamics

Upon completion of these courses, you will be able to:

  1. Analyze a model and work with analysis data in Simcenter 3D
  2. Prepare a model for analysis by working with geometry, meshes,
    connections, assemblies, loads, and boundary conditions
  3. Solve a model using structural analysis types
  4. Display analysis results
  5. Analyze models using specialized Simcenter 3D tools
  6. Use response dynamics to analyze a model’s response to an excitation
