SG2860 FEM Modelling 8.0 credits

The course gives knowledge about practical modelling aspects in FEM analyses
Course offering missing
Course offering missing for current semester as well as for previous and coming semestersContent 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.
