Feb 2002.  Teach DesignSpace 6.0 at a "Defense" related site.

Jan 2002.  Teach ANSYS/Professional at ANSYS Corp. Headquarters, Pittsburgh.

Sept 10-11, 2001.  Was attending an ANSYS related programming/consulting class in Pittsburgh that got cut short by the tragic events in NY, Washington, and PA.  Drove home to Raleigh  in my Pittsburgh-based rental car.  Alamo Rent-A-Car waived all fees and penalties thus allowing all customers with cars to return cars at any alternate US location.  A generous and compassionate policy (contrary to their competitors)....    I will definitely make Alamo my preferred supplier in the future - - I hope you do to......    PS:  I still learned a lot at the ANSYS Workbench training, so am looking forward to applying it on some client projects soon.

  Attendance was up 100% !   Even students recognize the power of these CAE tools!

Taught two Day CAE Class on-site for 7 attendees.  Topic:  ProFEA by ANSYS (ProE/ANSYS/ProMESH)

In July 2001, our founder presented a 45 minute overview to the local Pro/USER group.   Our friends at www.engineous.com  and www.finelineprototyping.com also presented. 

A crash course in ProE (basic features and drawings) was provided to senior-level Engineering students.  Attendance was up ~50%.......  Within a couple hours the students had learned enough to build a part from scratch and detail it on an A-size drawing....... 

A crash course in ANSYS (and FEA in general) was provided to senior-level Engineering students.  We reportedly drew a greater attendance than a recent SolidWorks class there ! 

Just completed 3 months on-site Contract work.  Provided a temporary replacement for a staff-engineer on Maternity leave.  Performed ProE Modeling and Detailing in their SunSolaris/ProPDM environment.  Telecommunications and Power Distribution accessory industry.
