NX Automotive Powertrain Training

The Powertrain course reviews engine design and machining fundamentals. It studies the processes for creating engine components, including fuel, exhaust, brake, suspension, steering and frame systems. Candidates will learn how to use software to check the kinematics and structural integrity of the designs. Candidates will create engine subsystems as well as related tooling. This course leverages real-world design problems presented by automotive manufacturers for case work throughout the course.

Simulations and Structures
Candidates should know the basics of the kinematics and structures. For the kinematics and structures material, the candidate will be able to:

•	Recognize the advantages of the kinematics and structural applications
•	Determine the common elements of the kinematics application
•	Create and edit links
•	Determine where to use and create revolute, slider, universal, spherical, curve on curve, gear, rack/pinion, and screw joints
•	Articulate a mechanism with multiple drivers
•	Apply and utilize packaging options
•	Recall the basics of finite element analysis
•	Recognize the basic features of structures and 3-D analysis
•	Simplify a model
•	Apply boundary conditions, loads, material properties, and meshes
•	Diagnose that the correct features were added
•	Solve the model and run post processing

Powertrain Fundamentals
Candidates will be introduced to basic design principles of powertrain design, the candidate will be able to:

•	Create powertrain parts using the correct modeling techniques
•	Recognize the tooling considerations in creating powertrain parts
•	Create engine mounts
•	Identify how different configurations affect the design
