"I took the FEMAP training course with Adrian Jensen, what a great teacher. I took the Introductory, advanced, and API programming course with him. I must say, as an experienced user, I gained a lot of information from every class including the introductory class. There are always new things to discover in FEMAP, and learning how to use them properly, how to check your model properly. This has been the best training course I have ever taken... "
Hazim Ghanim
"The training was a good introduction to FEMAP API programming. Learning the basic concepts of object oriented programming, how to navigate the FEMAP help document to find the objects, recording the repetitive work etc. was very helpful topics... Adrian was a great instructor and was very open to helping us with problems specific to our jobs."

"Dr. George Laird was... the instructor of my Nastran/Femap training class, which brought me to the domain of the 3D analysis. George’s [training and technical support] is different from others I have known. Not only is he very knowledgeable to Nastran and Femap, he is also a real life FEA engineer."
Jeff Yuh Sr.
Mechanical Engineer & Stress Analyst
"Class size is limited allowing for discussion opportunities and utilized [Adrian's] experience to provide valuable insight. An excellent class that was perfectly structured."
Kim Odstrcil
"I received my initial training in both FEA as well as CFD consulting analysis from George and continue to learn thanks to his excellent technical support."
Venkat Gaurav
Senior Mechanical Engineer
"At the training, I got the opportunity to truly extend my modelling and meshing capabilities, culminating with the API session with Adrian that empowered me to explore a whole new dimension of Femap and NX Nastran software... I recommend any aerospace organization, utilizing FEA as their structural analysis basis, to seriously consider Applied CAx and Predictive engineering as an exceptional candidate for training and consulting."
Jamil Suleman
Stress Engineer
"I was very impressed with the Femap and NX Nastran training put on by [Predictive Engineering and Applied CAx]. The combination of brief (but detailed) instruction and self-paced workshops was great and I am sure to refer back to the videos and training materials often. The instructors (George and Adrian) are truly masters in their field, and I look forward to working closely with them in the future."
Chris Glancey
Mechanical Engineer
"[Applied CAx and Predictive Engineering] have a very broad service offering. We have used them to provide training, trouble-shoot software analysis problems, optimize our routine analysis, and provide turn-key high level analysis solutions. George is extremely knowledgeable with conventional and 'leading edge' analysis techniques, and well versed in most all major analysis software packages."
Chris Carpenter
PE Vice-President Engineering
"George's FEA short course helped a handful of engineers at Wagstaff to quickly gain a working knowledge of FEA with Nastran. The course was concise and practical... If you need a fun, quick, and practical education in FEA and Nastran, this course is for you."
Todd Snyder
R&D Engineer
"I first met George in 1998 when he delivered a two-day FEA presentation to a group of design engineers within our department. We found his interactive discussion informative and pertinent to our interests and requirements; he obviously had a good grasp of our situation..."
Dr. Bill Stewart
Mechanical Design Engineer
