Course Description | The course introduces finite element (FE) analysis as a common numerical analysis tool. It covers the fundamental theoretical approach beginning with a review of numerical integration, parametric geometry, and integral formulation and the implementation of FE analysis using Finite Element Programs. Students learn to use a commercial finite element software upon graduation. |
