  10. I am posting it here instead of replying him by email so others cab use it if they require. &lt;br /&gt;
  11. &lt;br /&gt;
  12. Its an output of a centrifugal design program that I developed long back. It consists of 4 line segments that can be made as a surface to get one blade.&lt;br /&gt;
  13. &lt;br /&gt;
  14. You can get the file from by clicking &lt;a href=&quot;https://docs.google.com/document/edit?id=1KyAxswyOfYnxQO_4uQ_Ekap_Or7VK-LG8oh4UL90WKE&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;authkey=CMz6mJQF&quot;&gt;Centrifugal_Compressor_Blade_Profile&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

From importing  &lt;br&gt;cordinates to excel program to using excel to plot curves in catia, I  &lt;br&gt;have done so many thing with it.  Now I am fairly confident in this  &lt;br&gt;software and know many things in that software from basic formulaes to  &lt;br&gt;advance stuff. From simple macros to vba programming.&lt;p&gt;But all this I didn&amp;#39;t learn in a day, a week, a month or even a year.  &lt;br&gt;This stuff I have learnt over the years. I am still learning.&lt;p&gt;The point being, all softwares are huge.  One can never know, learn,  &lt;br&gt;and master them in some short period of time. You need to give it  &lt;br&gt;time. So when you begin learning catia, nastran, or ansys, give  &lt;br&gt;yourself ample time and if possible start early.&lt;p&gt;Fix a schedule with minimum no of hours of practice and then stick to  &lt;br&gt;it consistently for a considerable lengh of time. This is the essense  &lt;br&gt;of being a pro in any field.&lt;p&gt;Read more about developing software skills by clicking &lt;a href=&quot;http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/search?q=tools&quot;&gt;http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/search?q=tools&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Love reading this, then subscribe it via email or rss by clicking &lt;a href=&quot;http://feeds.feedburner.com/myaesi&quot;&gt;http://feeds.feedburner.com/myaesi&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Grab &lt;a href=&quot;http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/2009/12/after-aesi-career-guide-after-aesi.html&quot;&gt; &quot;After-AeSI Career guide to AeSI&quot; &lt;/a&gt; ebook free

Doing the same thing for  &lt;br&gt;this long had made it a habit.  So what  have I learnt from this.&lt;p&gt;Show up&lt;br&gt;Yes everyday I showed up. Took the laptop out and just started. Never  &lt;br&gt;new in advance what I will write but just began. This created the  &lt;br&gt;posts that you all are reading and hopefully gaining something.&lt;p&gt;So start showing up to whatever goal you have setup. If your aim is to  &lt;br&gt;get good marks, then show up and stick to your routine. If you aim is  &lt;br&gt;to learn catia, ansys etc. show up. Switch on the software and begin  &lt;br&gt;tinkering. If you want a productive training, then show up everyday,  &lt;br&gt;consistently.&lt;p&gt;Showing up is so simple yet how few times we use it. I have been  &lt;br&gt;blogging on this blog since 2004 and this is the first year that I  &lt;br&gt;have really taken an extra effort to be consitent in posting. So it  &lt;br&gt;was big lesson for me.&lt;p&gt;As I said earlier, since lot of travel is involved in October, so  &lt;br&gt;posting rate might suffer. But rest assured that I will be writing  &lt;br&gt;everyday and posts will flash only when I have the opportunity to  &lt;br&gt;connect to the Internet.&lt;p&gt;By the way read earlier posts by visiting &lt;a href=&quot;http://my-aesi.blogspot.com&quot;&gt;my-aesi.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Grab &lt;a href=&quot;http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/2009/12/after-aesi-career-guide-after-aesi.html&quot;&gt; &quot;After-AeSI Career guide to AeSI&quot; &lt;/a&gt; ebook free

They are the suggestions from the experience and environment  &lt;br&gt;that I have been for the last couple of years.&lt;p&gt;If you are interested in CAD, then shun catia, overlook solidworks,  &lt;br&gt;take up unigraphics. That&amp;#39;s the future. That&amp;#39;s what aerospace industry  &lt;br&gt;is using.&lt;p&gt;If you are interested in analysis, make ANSYS you vehicle of choice.  &lt;br&gt;Start tinkering, and learning about it from today.&lt;p&gt;Well that&amp;#39;s it nothing fancy. Not many choices, but just two specific  &lt;br&gt;softwares to choose from.&lt;p&gt;Choose one today and begin devoting one hour each day on it for the  &lt;br&gt;next two year, and you will not have to worry about job or career  &lt;br&gt;ever!

The  &lt;br&gt;more you take, the more are your chances of getting that perfect shot.  &lt;br&gt;For some it will come at the 10th shot, or the 100th or beyond.&lt;p&gt;But what is important is taking shots. Same way the best way to learn  &lt;br&gt;and perfect any cae software like catia, nastran, ansys etc is take a  &lt;br&gt;lot of shot at them. Do them again and again and again and again.&lt;p&gt;Repeat a truss analysis, repeat a compresseor blade model. Don&amp;#39;t just  &lt;br&gt;stop but take action and take as many shot as you can.&lt;p&gt;The beauty about the digital camera is that you don&amp;#39;t have to worry  &lt;br&gt;about the reel, the developing. Same way, the cad and analysis tools  &lt;br&gt;help you in giving you a virtual model or products, thus enabling you  &lt;br&gt;to manipulate it to your hearts content.&lt;p&gt;So with minimum cost and fuss, you learn a lot. So when doing the next  &lt;br&gt;session in ansys or catia, do become a photographer and take lots of  &lt;br&gt;shots.&lt;p&gt;Read more about how to learn cae software effectively by clicking on  &lt;br&gt;the following link &lt;a href=&quot;http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/search?q=learn+analysis+software&quot;&gt;http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/search?q=learn+analysis+software&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Subscribe to myaesi via email or rss by visiting this link &lt;a href=&quot;http://feeds.feedburner.com/myaesi&quot;&gt;http://feeds.feedburner.com/myaesi&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Grab &lt;a href=&quot;http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/2009/12/after-aesi-career-guide-after-aesi.html&quot;&gt; &quot;After-AeSI Career guide to AeSI&quot; &lt;/a&gt; ebook free

Well If you are then that&amp;#39;s a  &lt;br&gt;waste of time, my friend. In truth you will never ever get the right  &lt;br&gt;answer.&lt;p&gt;The correct choice or the right answer is an illusion.&lt;p&gt;The faster you understand this the better you will be.&lt;p&gt;I have passed section A, which stream to choose for section B? There&amp;#39;s  &lt;br&gt;no right answer to it.&lt;p&gt;I passed AeSI, but I don&amp;#39;t have 60%. Should I continue on or redo the  &lt;br&gt;exams? There&amp;#39;s no correct choice.&lt;p&gt;Should I go for higher studies or do I take a job? There&amp;#39;s no right  &lt;br&gt;answer.&lt;p&gt;Which field should I go, design or analysis? There&amp;#39;s no right answer.&lt;p&gt;Which software tool should I take up, catia or solidworks? There&amp;#39;s no  &lt;br&gt;right answer!&lt;p&gt;At one point or the other you will face this or similar questions in  &lt;br&gt;your jouney of AeSI, they will creep in. You will ponder over them,  &lt;br&gt;ask many people, contact seniors for advice and each answer will  &lt;br&gt;settle you deep into the question and you will search for the right  &lt;br&gt;answer.&lt;p&gt;But let me tell you, there&amp;#39;s no right answer. Do what you feel that is  &lt;br&gt;correct at that time. That&amp;#39;s the important thing. Staying in the  &lt;br&gt;vortex of your questions won&amp;#39;t take you anywhere. Just listen to heart  &lt;br&gt;and follow it.&lt;p&gt;That&amp;#39;s the best you can do instead of waiting for the right answer!&lt;p&gt;What are your thoughts on this, do comment.&lt;p&gt;Read more about this questions by searching them on &lt;a href=&quot;http://my-aesi.blogspot.com&quot;&gt;http://my-aesi.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Subscribe via email or google reader by visiting &lt;a href=&quot;http://feeds.feedburner.com/myaesi&quot;&gt;http://feeds.feedburner.com/myaesi&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Grab &lt;a href=&quot;http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/2009/12/after-aesi-career-guide-after-aesi.html&quot;&gt; &quot;After-AeSI Career guide to AeSI&quot; &lt;/a&gt; ebook free

So why is it different  &lt;br&gt;for the training?&lt;p&gt;I see lot of aesi graduates and students attending training in NAL,ADA  &lt;br&gt;etc, and just doing that!&lt;p&gt;They show lot of initiative, courage and creativity to get in, but  &lt;br&gt;once they are in, they just sleep or sit outside!&lt;p&gt;Why?&lt;p&gt;Training is like a theme park, where you choose the rides and  &lt;br&gt;experiences you want. No one will handfeed you, or give you tailor  &lt;br&gt;made experience in catia or any other tool, you have to find the  &lt;br&gt;opportunities and learn.&lt;p&gt;Once you are in, resolve to get the correct technical exposure.  &lt;br&gt;Surround yourself with books, people and substances that lifts you  &lt;br&gt;towards your career goals.

He is not learning anything new!&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#39;t know about him but I see an opportunity there. I see time that  &lt;br&gt;he can utilize to learn whatever he wants to but all he does the same  &lt;br&gt;repeatative job at the same slow pace.&lt;p&gt;He is using excel and is doing the same kind of work for a year now  &lt;br&gt;but he is poor in excel, by now he would have been fluent in that tool  &lt;br&gt;but since excel is everywhere he disregards it. Shuns it. Hates it.&lt;p&gt;He is ignorant of simple if formula and of simple techniques of excel.&lt;p&gt;If this is attitude he approaches his work he will remain in the same  &lt;br&gt;rut till he quits.&lt;p&gt;Its not what you do that will teach you but how you do something?  &lt;br&gt;Opportunities don&amp;#39;t come to ideal work, it springs from the laps of  &lt;br&gt;challenging work.&lt;p&gt;So this is what I suggested him.&lt;br&gt;1. Automate your repeatative work.&lt;br&gt;2. Do the work at a faster pace.&lt;br&gt;3. Utilize the remaining time doing small experiments in excel.&lt;br&gt;4. Read more about the tool you are using.&lt;br&gt;5. Aim to be an expert in it.&lt;br&gt;6. No tool is unimportant.&lt;br&gt;7. Your value is not it the number of tools you know but in the things  &lt;br&gt;you can do with the tools you know.&lt;p&gt;I wish I could do some more for him. But I know he is the one who has  &lt;br&gt;to walk. All we, as external person, can do is point him the right way.&lt;p&gt;As always I am curious what do you think?&lt;p&gt;Read more tips on learning tools like catia, nastran ansys etc. at &lt;a href=&quot;http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/search?q=tools&quot;&gt;http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/search?q=tools&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Grab &lt;a href=&quot;http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/2009/12/after-aesi-career-guide-after-aesi.html&quot;&gt; &quot;After-AeSI Career guide to AeSI&quot; &lt;/a&gt; ebook free

Learn the methodology and  &lt;br&gt;process not the tool. Learn why something is happening than how.&lt;p&gt;Delve deeper in different boundary conditions and domains than just  &lt;br&gt;blindly applying them repeatedly on models. Understand the difference  &lt;br&gt;and significance of different elements before choosing one over the  &lt;br&gt;other. Understand the different ways of loft before applying it in a  &lt;br&gt;cad model.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#39;s very easy to loose sight of wood for the trees. But keep your  &lt;br&gt;mind alert and know what you are doing and do what you know.

I used the same  &lt;br&gt;analogy to learning catia, solidworks, unigraphics, ansys , and  &lt;br&gt;nastran etc.&lt;p&gt;I laid out steps that one can take so that even without a real life  &lt;br&gt;example, one can accelerate one&amp;#39;s learning of a cad or cae tool.&lt;p&gt;Here in this post I will discuss why it works?&lt;p&gt;Why riding on real roads really work?&lt;p&gt;1. It puts you out of the leisure zone.&lt;br&gt;2. It presents you unexpected turns.&lt;br&gt;3. It puts you on the real test.&lt;br&gt;4. It focuses you not on results but on the process.&lt;br&gt;5. It presents the situation where you need to apply your knowledge at  &lt;br&gt;every turn.&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Same applies for learning a tool. Be it a cad tool like catia,  &lt;br&gt;solidworks or unigraphics or be it an analysis software like ansys,  &lt;br&gt;nastran, fluent etc.&lt;p&gt;The main advantage is that you disregard the nonsense, superficial  &lt;br&gt;stuff and do the things that&amp;#39;s essential and important.&lt;p&gt;Changing gears at every corner is a skill that one learns when he is  &lt;br&gt;on a real road facing real traffic, same way, while doing a software  &lt;br&gt;with real world examples one learns of different constraints that  &lt;br&gt;never appears while practising a tutorial. And this constraints and  &lt;br&gt;limitations enables you to think and solve the assignments in creative  &lt;br&gt;ways.&lt;p&gt;So next time you sit to learn a software tool, shun the off repeated  &lt;br&gt;tutorial. Challenge yourself to make something that you can share with  &lt;br&gt;others. Challenge yourself to make something that others will find  &lt;br&gt;usefull. And begin making it. This will teach you 100 times more than  &lt;br&gt;following the steps of 100 tutorials!!&lt;p&gt;Try it!&lt;p&gt;Read the previous post related to learning software tools by clicking  &lt;br&gt;on the following link &lt;a href=&quot;http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/search?q=tools&quot;&gt;http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/search?q=tools&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Subscribe to my-aesi with this link &lt;a href=&quot;http://feeds.feedburner.com/myaesi&quot;&gt;http://feeds.feedburner.com/myaesi&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Grab &lt;a href=&quot;http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/2009/12/after-aesi-career-guide-after-aesi.html&quot;&gt; &quot;After-AeSI Career guide to AeSI&quot; &lt;/a&gt; ebook free

Here&amp;#39;s  &lt;br&gt;few idea for anyone learning a cad (catia, solidworks, unigraphics  &lt;br&gt;etc) program.&lt;p&gt;1. Select a place in your house, let&amp;#39;s say the bathroom and create all  &lt;br&gt;the bathroom assessories that you see in it in your chosen cad  &lt;br&gt;program. Design from start to finish and present 2d drawing just ready  &lt;br&gt;to be manufactured. Design with an intention of sharing all your model  &lt;br&gt;and cad drawing sheets with the world. Post them online. Let that be  &lt;br&gt;the real project you are working for.&lt;p&gt;2. Design a bicycle from scratch. Measure one and assemble a whole  &lt;br&gt;unit in your chosen cad program. Make drawing sheets which enables  &lt;br&gt;someone with the drawing to built the bicycle from ground up.&lt;p&gt;Well I can go on but I will stop here and let you decide how you want  &lt;br&gt;to create your own challenge.&lt;p&gt;The key thing in this whole exercise is your commitment to share your  &lt;br&gt;results. When you design and cad model with that intention, you will  &lt;br&gt;be in the very state of mind that actual designers are. It&amp;#39;s just like  &lt;br&gt;riding on a real road.&lt;p&gt;In my next post, I will discuss why this method works and things to  &lt;br&gt;remember while doing this kind of exercises.&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Read more tools related stuff by clicking the below link&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/search?q=tools&quot;&gt;http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/search?q=tools&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enjoy my-aesi in rss or email by clicking on this link&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://feeds.feedburner.com/myaesi&quot;&gt;http://feeds.feedburner.com/myaesi&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Grab &lt;a href=&quot;http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/2009/12/after-aesi-career-guide-after-aesi.html&quot;&gt; &quot;After-AeSI Career guide to AeSI&quot; &lt;/a&gt; ebook free

The courses are on fem, project management and many other cfd,  &lt;br&gt;and engineering related topics. The courses mostly deal with theory  &lt;br&gt;and strengthing concepts!!&lt;p&gt;Second short term courses are from MSRSAS.

Everyone agrees initiative is a great  &lt;br&gt;personal quality to have. And I know from personal experience, it&amp;#39;s a  &lt;br&gt;term which will pop it&amp;#39;s head in all the advice you get when you are  &lt;br&gt;in your last semester.&lt;p&gt;Take initiative. Show initiative. Initiate something. This terms are  &lt;br&gt;all too familiar. So how can you as an aesi student show initiatives.&lt;p&gt;1. Participate in classes, ask questions.&lt;br&gt;2. Give free lectures on what know.&lt;br&gt;3. Teach what you have learnt.&lt;br&gt;4. Learn a programming language.&lt;br&gt;5. Read on wide range of subjects.&lt;br&gt;6. Join and actively participate in Internet forums.&lt;br&gt;7. Organize events in local school, college, and community.&lt;br&gt;8. Create presentations on things you have studied and post them for  &lt;br&gt;people to see it.&lt;br&gt;9. Create online asset. Like Models of catia, scripts for ansys.  &lt;br&gt;Shortcut list for excel.&lt;br&gt;10.&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ten is intentionally left blank for you to fill. The list is just an  &lt;br&gt;indicator.

Make it as a  &lt;br&gt;personal challenge to see how many models you can create with all the  &lt;br&gt;techniques you have learnt so far.&lt;p&gt;Just create and don&amp;#39;t worry about the quality for now.

So which one should you use? Is catia v15 better to catia  &lt;br&gt;v10, or msc nastran is better than nx nastran?&lt;p&gt;I have seen students of aesi fret over version for days. They just  &lt;br&gt;wait for the latest version without begining. They will wait 30 days  &lt;br&gt;in the hope of laying hands on catia v15 than begining with catia v10  &lt;br&gt;that is already installed.&lt;p&gt;That is wrong strategy. Begin with whatever version you have. In fact  &lt;br&gt;starting with a lower version is better.&lt;p&gt;Newer version are always invariably easier to use, easier to work  &lt;br&gt;with. And they have layers of abstruction to the end task, hiding  &lt;br&gt;important details that might enable you to learn the process behind  &lt;br&gt;the model.&lt;p&gt;GUI improves most in the latest version but you aren&amp;#39;t learning a cad  &lt;br&gt;or cae tool to judge a beauty content. You want to learn it to enable  &lt;br&gt;you do the design and analysis.&lt;p&gt;So if you want to learn a software, begin with the version you have.  &lt;br&gt;Lower the version, the more opportunities you have to understand the  &lt;br&gt;process. Lower the version, the higher the chance of making human  &lt;br&gt;errors, mistakes and thus higher the chances to learn. The more  &lt;br&gt;mistakes you make, the faster you will learn!!&lt;p&gt;So start today. Start now with whatever version you have!!&lt;p&gt;Be educated not trained!! :)&lt;p&gt;Read all posts regarding software learning by following this link.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;Http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/search?q=software&quot;&gt;Http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/search?q=software&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Don&amp;#39;t forget to use the new search functionality in the blog!!&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Grab &lt;a href=&quot;http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/2009/12/after-aesi-career-guide-after-aesi.html&quot;&gt; &quot;After-AeSI Career guide to AeSI&quot; &lt;/a&gt; ebook free

Though I  &lt;br&gt;mentioned three specific softwares but they are certainly not the only  &lt;br&gt;one used in the industry.&lt;p&gt;Those 3 were the softwares that I will take up if I were a fresh AeSI  &lt;br&gt;graduate today.&lt;p&gt;Every organisation uses many different softwares. Even CAD, CAE  &lt;br&gt;softwares vary from department to department. And these softwares also  &lt;br&gt;change with each year.&lt;p&gt;I have seen catia replacing unigraphics and again next year catia  &lt;br&gt;replaced by a brand new cad program in my department. So don&amp;#39;t fret  &lt;br&gt;about the softwares too much. They change like governments!&lt;p&gt;Start with whatever options that are available to you. But be  &lt;br&gt;consistent. Consistent in putting in your time, consistent in sitting  &lt;br&gt;with the software every day. Consistent in learning the tool.&lt;p&gt;Always remember, no matter what software you use, study or practise,  &lt;br&gt;It&amp;#39;s YOU who will matter ultimately in your design and analysis.  &lt;br&gt;Softwares are just the tools that enable you to weive the magic!&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Grab &lt;a href=&quot;http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/2009/12/after-aesi-career-guide-after-aesi.html&quot;&gt; &quot;After-AeSI Career guide to AeSI&quot; &lt;/a&gt; ebook free

While doing hard stuff enables you to learn new things,  &lt;br&gt;helps you keep active and help you to challenge yourself.&lt;p&gt;So always mix hard and soft stuff. Have hard and easy stuff in your  &lt;br&gt;life. A healthy dose of both is essential. They will increase and  &lt;br&gt;perpetuate your knowledge. So how do you apply this in your studies,  &lt;br&gt;training, and job.&lt;p&gt;In studies always make sure you are studying something new everyday  &lt;br&gt;and revising something that has been studied. Revising is easy just  &lt;br&gt;rehearse what you have learnt in the previous day. This mixes the  &lt;br&gt;whole routine and helps you get more out of your study time.&lt;p&gt;In training, the same core principle applies, add new skill and  &lt;br&gt;explore the already known skills. If its catia, then pracitise the  &lt;br&gt;same old loft but find out about the cloud point import. Similarly in  &lt;br&gt;hypermesh do Old and new stuff together. This will help you get the  &lt;br&gt;best of the software. And learning will be much more rounded.&lt;p&gt;In job don&amp;#39;t remain stagnant, stir things up weekly, make a  &lt;br&gt;presentaion, develop a company specific tool and basically take  &lt;br&gt;initiative at new things while contributimg towards the daily work  &lt;br&gt;assignment&lt;p&gt;So mixing hard and soft has advantages and if applied inteligently can  &lt;br&gt;earn you successful degree, fruitful training and a sparkling career.&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;For reading more tips on career do click the following links.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;Http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/search/label/advice&quot;&gt;Http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/search/label/advice&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;Http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/search?q=career&quot;&gt;Http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/search?q=career&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;Http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/search?q=catia&quot;&gt;Http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/search?q=catia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;Http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/search?q=training&quot;&gt;Http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/search?q=training&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Grab &lt;a href=&quot;http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/2009/12/after-aesi-career-guide-after-aesi.html&quot;&gt; &quot;After-AeSI Career guide to AeSI&quot; &lt;/a&gt; ebook free

Reading and learning shouldn&#39;t be the bulk of it. You have to make sure you&amp;#160; get to the basic design stage as fast as you can.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Begin delivering.     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;When I began learning solid works, I was playing by making cubes, glass, bowl etc but as soon as I got the sense of the things. I went straight to my design team member and asked him to give me a real life data for me to play around.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;He was generous and he gave the coordinates of a centrifugal compressor he cad modelled. And I began cad modelling a real life compressor model. Had lot of hiccups on the way but was finally pleased with what I made. On hindsight, I know that my approach of getting to play with solid works as fast as possible was the trick that propelled me latter to be a part of the design team of    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;so whats the take away in all this..&lt;/strong&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Set a minimum amount of time that you will just do the exploration. Make this commitment before you begin on a software. Once you have fixed a time. then half it and carry on with this constrained target. Once you complete the knowing the software. Jump into to play with some real thing. if its catia, get your hands dirty of some real project, if its hypermesh, get a real life model to mesh.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;This is the best way to accelerate your CAE tool learning. Nothing will teach you better than working on some real problem. No tutorial will stretch you that a real problem at hand can. So if you are sitting to learning a new CAD tool like catia, solid works, ANSYS or nastran, just remember to get the software playable as fast as possible.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Grab &lt;a href=&quot;http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/2009/12/after-aesi-career-guide-after-aesi.html&quot;&gt; &quot;After-AeSI Career guide to AeSI&quot; &lt;/a&gt; ebook free

In this post, I will  &lt;br&gt;describe what I do when I begin learning a new language or new  &lt;br&gt;software tool.&lt;p&gt;The first stage is being a sponge, I read, listen and see each and  &lt;br&gt;every material data I get about the tool or the language. I do not  &lt;br&gt;understand everything but I make it&amp;#39;s point that I ran it through my  &lt;br&gt;mind once.&lt;p&gt;During this phase I read, I get the software do what I understand, If  &lt;br&gt;I don&amp;#39;t understand, I read, seek other sources and again sit with the  &lt;br&gt;software. This iteration and exploration continues. Once I feel i am  &lt;br&gt;bored with and covered everything there is to read, I get to the  &lt;br&gt;softwate and this begins the curiosity stage.&lt;p&gt;Here I am just curious and I poke around, any questions that comes to  &lt;br&gt;mind I try, try it then and there. If I learnt one technique, I try to  &lt;br&gt;apply it in more than one way that I know it can be used. If I learn a  &lt;br&gt;function, I try all the possible limits of that to see what happens.  &lt;br&gt;Most of the exploration happens because I ask what will happen if I do  &lt;br&gt;this.&lt;p&gt;After this stage I ask for help, I get to see the people who are using  &lt;br&gt;this software, if they are not available, I get some tutorials and  &lt;br&gt;releigiously do them step by step. Once I complete the one tutorial I  &lt;br&gt;don&amp;#39;t jump on to the next tutorial but instead begin my poking and  &lt;br&gt;exploration on the model or the program I just developed. Twisting,  &lt;br&gt;tweaking and getting all sort of stuff out of the tutorials. I try  &lt;br&gt;random big small values in all the tutorilas inputs , vary and  &lt;br&gt;compltely ignore the few steps and see what happens.&lt;p&gt;This is the stage when maximum learning happens.&lt;p&gt;So these are the 3 stages, I have Learnt all the software I know!!  &lt;br&gt;Hope similar a slight midification of this techniques will work for  &lt;br&gt;you when take on to learn catia or any other cae software!!!&lt;p&gt;Visit &lt;a href=&quot;http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/search?q=catia&quot;&gt;http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/search?q=catia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;for catia related material on this blog.&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Grab &lt;a href=&quot;http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/2009/12/after-aesi-career-guide-after-aesi.html&quot;&gt; &quot;After-AeSI Career guide to AeSI&quot; &lt;/a&gt; ebook free

So this is the post to answer  &lt;br&gt;that question.&lt;p&gt;Any language will do as long as you can use it to accomplish your  &lt;br&gt;daily tasks. I am not advocating that by learning a programming  &lt;br&gt;language , everyone will begin to develop production level software,  &lt;br&gt;all I am saying is learn to program so that you are able to automate  &lt;br&gt;some of your repeated and sandry tasks and work more effecienly!!&lt;p&gt;So that&amp;#39;s it. Learn programming to make yourself effecient, and  &lt;br&gt;productive.&lt;p&gt;You might consider matlab, vba, fortran, c, and autohotkey!!&lt;p&gt;All of them had their own advantage and disadvantages.&lt;p&gt;For example matlab is the easiest one to program and it&amp;#39;s ability to  &lt;br&gt;plot easily is a huge advantage. While the disadvantage is you need  &lt;br&gt;matlab to be installed, you need the full software license to begin.&lt;p&gt;Whereas VBA or visual basic for application is always available on all  &lt;br&gt;windows systems. It comes with ms office,catia, solidworks and all  &lt;br&gt;kind of windows based softwares. So you will find it much easier to  &lt;br&gt;get hold of. The disadvantage is that it&amp;#39;s limited to windows pc&amp;#39;s.&lt;p&gt;Fortran and C are real programming languages and they have the  &lt;br&gt;advantage of getting free compilers on the net. They offer much more  &lt;br&gt;flexibilty on what you can program. But the disadvantage is you have  &lt;br&gt;to learn the language well and you need a good amount of motivation to  &lt;br&gt;program something productive out of them.&lt;p&gt;Autohotkey. Well, if all you looking is to have a way to automate  &lt;br&gt;windows, get yourself autohotkey. It&amp;#39;s a tool that will help you  &lt;br&gt;automate your day to day windows task. It&amp;#39;s easy, quick and powerful  &lt;br&gt;for automation of windows. Only disadvantage is you can only use it in  &lt;br&gt;windows system.&lt;p&gt;I hope, I have wetted your appetite on some of the programming  &lt;br&gt;languages that you can consider.&lt;p&gt;Have a look on the programming related posts that I have written so  &lt;br&gt;far by clicking the following link&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;Http://www.my-aesi.blogspot.com/search?q=programming&quot;&gt;Http://www.my-aesi.blogspot.com/search?q=programming&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Grab &lt;a href=&quot;http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/2009/12/after-aesi-career-guide-after-aesi.html&quot;&gt; &quot;After-AeSI Career guide to AeSI&quot; &lt;/a&gt; ebook free
