MDESIGN Seminar
Strength verification of machine components
according to FKM guideline
In our training course on the FKM guideline, you will learn how to reliably calculate and design components using FEM analyses and static-dynamic stress analyses in a practical online seminar. This course provides you with comprehensive knowledge on the calculation and optimization of components in accordance with the FKM guideline for reliable and efficient design.
These topics await you...
The FKM guideline is a standard developed by the Forschungskuratorium Maschinenbau (FKM)
for static and dynamic strength verifications.
Due to the wide field of application, the guideline has become widely used in mechanical engineering
and in other industries. Attend our seminar and find out
more about guideline-compliant strength verifications.
