Description

This is a basic course that focuses on finite element analysis and its applications. The course provides an essential theoretical background for any FE solver user. The evolution of FEM, basic definitions, types of elements, analysis types, model fidelity, pre-processing and post-processing are all discussed with the aid of some mathematical and technical applications. Besides, the course includes 11 static analysis tutorials on Ansys software to link the theoretical background to the software application. Finally, there are many assignments and working files annexed to the lectures, to allow students the opportunity to apply what they learn on their own, also the slides are attached to lecture for the student's convenience.

Who this course is for:

  • Any student or engineer who would like to start learning Ansys from zero
  • Students who would like to link academic knowledge to Practical applications
  • Beginners on the field of finite element analysis
  • Researchers who use numerical simulations
