Hello everyone!

My name is Daniel Sá. I am a Naval Architect and Marine Engineer from the Polytechnic University in Madrid, and I will be your instructor.

I’m also the Technical Director of Compass Ingeniería y Sistemas, a company based in Barcelona, Spain. We specialize in numerical analysis and consultancy for structural, sea-keeping, and hydrodynamics.

I’m also a NAFEMS simulation certified engineer and an associate professor at the University of Catalonia for the Masters of Naval Engineering in Barcelona.

In this course, I want to share my years of experience with you. Everything I will share can be applied to marine environments or any other sector dealing with verifying structures. Finite Element Analysis will always be a powerful tool for verification and reporting.

This course is totally advised to Marine Engineers and Naval Architects, as well as to any other type of Engineer dealing with structural analysis, as well as students, professors, Ph.D.s, and researchers.

I’m looking forward to meeting you at the course!
