Finite Element

Description

This course provides the students with the required skills to use and apply the finite element analysis method to linear and nonlinear problems of elastic structures. Students will use Python and ABAQUS for their analysis.

Learning Outcomes

Define and describe the finite element analysis method
Differentiate between solid, beam, and shell elements
Describe the use of isoparametric formulation
Differentiate between linear, quadratic, full and reduced integration solid elements
Compare the stiffness matrix of simple elements between hand calculations and those of a finite element analysis software
Model a physical problem using a finite element analysis software
