Objectives (course unit)
The student is familiar with the theoretical basis of the finite element method and can analyze structures and machine parts under static loading conditions using a typical FEM-program. The student will master the basic concepts of the finite element method, will know the most important element types, is able to utilize the results of FEM-analysis and will know the structure of a typical FEM-program. The student is familiar with the theory of the direct finite element method of trusses and frames and gets practice in applying the finite element method to two- and three-dimensional solid bodies.
Content (course unit)
