ENGR3350 Finite Element Analysis
Computational simulation based on finite element methods is routinely used in engineering, especially in product design and development. In fact it is likely that the design and fabrication of any human-made, commercially-produced structure or mechanical system that you have come in contact with has been guided by finite element analysis. We'll start with fundamentals principles of FEA focusing on proper usage rather than mathematical theory. You'll learn to apply common analysis processes (e.g., static, dynamic, modal, thermal-mechanical, explicit dynamic). You'll then define your own project(s) where you will apply these tools for quantitative analysis.
