Looking for tutorials 3

[tzracer975]

I am new to both Catia and FEA. I am looking to find more turorials to help learn the product, in particular the analysis side of things. I have been working my way through the online documentation and have picked up some useful information; however, the more I learn the more I feel lost. What I would really like to find is a book or tutorials that walk you through a complete analysis and explains the rationale for the processes. Also I find that the documentation only seems to cover part of the picture. For example, if I am trying to create an assembly using a bolted connection the online documentation will show how to create the bolted nodes but not how to incorporate them into the mesh. As I said, I am very new to FEA, so it just may be my ignorance, but I would really love to find a better reference to help learn. I'd appreciate any advice.
Thanks.
