Finite Element Analysis (517H3)

15 credits, Level 7 (Masters)

Spring teaching

We will look at:

  • Theory and practical applications of the finite element (FE) methods.
  • Beam, shell, and solid FEs, use of symmetry, formulation and solution of static, modal and dynamic analysis problems.
  • Introduction to FE modelling methods and software (ANSYS).
  • Using the graphical interface, setting up FE models, mesh generation, solving and postprocessing the results.
