Summary

In this module, students become acquainted with basic concepts of finite element method and with its application. Seminars take place in computer room in the ANSYS software environment. The students learn to build the computational model, add the boundary conditions and load. On the model students perform the analysis and evaluate results. Tasks of linear statics are discussed. The students also take brief introduction about the deformation method and finite element method.
