FEM 2102: Introduction to Finite Element Computations
Description
About Course
This is a beginners course on Finite Element Method for undergraduate students in science and engineering
Goals
- Provide the basis of finite element method for undergraduate students
- Show the formulation of practical mechanics problems
- Build finite element solutions with symbolics/numerical processor
- Introduction to finite element simulations
What Will I Learn?
- Computational analysis using FEM helps predict the behavior of materials or products under physical phenomena like stress, vibration, heat, pressure, etc.
- Increased accuracy
- Better insight into critical design parameters
- No need for design repetitions for different scenarios
