Simulation Training

Instructor-Led and Impactful

In Engineering, we are trained to view things with a critical eye, and we never stop learning. So why have we allowed our FEA and CFD training to turn into nothing but hard-to-find help files and poorly produced online videos? The latest generation of Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) software provides an immersive, hands-on design experience, and Fastway Engineering training classes are designed to do the same!

Public and Private Classes

We offer both Public and Private classes. Our Public classes are taught in our classroom in downtown Chicago (via an unique partnership with mHUB Chicago), and we travel all over North America to teach private classes on site at our clients. All of our Private classes are fully customizable and the course material is typically tailored directly to the company’s current and most challenging projects. Our goal is to make sure that at the end of class, you are armed with the tools to go back work and solve problems using simulation immediately.

25% Theory + 75% Application = 100% Effective

Fastway Engineering training is focused on teaching the fundamentals of Structural Statics, Kinematics, and Fluid Dynamics using the latest Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software. These instructor-led classes are the perfect mix of Technical Theory and Practical Application. No matter what level you're at, you will walk away with more confidence in your simulations, and better, more optimized designs moving forward. Here at Fastway, we believe in the Problem Based Learning (PBL) method, which is built around solving open-ended problems. Our PBL classes are approximately 25% theory and 75% application, with sound fundamentals embedded into each open ended problem. This approach promotes teamwork and critical thinking, which ultimately facilitate a deeper understanding of how to apply these sophisticated software workflows.

Our Classes

Fastway Simulation Training esigned to fill the gap between academia and industry. With a focus on parametric CAD and meshing workflows, we teach in a very consultative way, with smaller class sizes and customized open-ended projects, many times using out customers own geometry for teaching. Disciplines start with 3 and 4-day Intro class, then elevate to 1 and 2-day bootcamps for more advanced topics. Multiple topics can be combined into a single interactive class that brings your team up the learning curve at the perfect pace.

Problem Based Learning

Problem-based learning (PBL) is a dynamic classroom approach where students acquire deeper knowledge through active exploration of real-world challenges and problems. This style of active learning exposes attendees to open-ended problems, with no single answer, just like in engineering product development. PBL contrasts with ineffective one-way lectures which present established mathematical theories, and software training focused on the “picks and clicks.”

You want to be a better designer, and we want to help!

Being a better designer means being a better decision maker. And we want to help you make better decisions by staying fresh with the fundamentals, and also getting up to speed on the latest and most powerful software tools.
