Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

The following modelling aspects in finite element modelling are discussed :

  • geometrical and material aspects
  • boundary conditions
  • choice of the elements
  • static and dynamic analyses
  • non-linear aspects

Several practical cases are presented.

A large-scale project, consisting of the modelling of a realistic problem, should be treated.

Intended learning outcomes

Students will learn practical modelling aspects necessary in realistic FEM analyses. Another goal is to provide students with skills in using the commercial FEM package ANSYS.
