English

What you'll learn

  • Key Formulations in FEA: Truss elements (1D, 2D, 3D), 2D plate (plane strain, plane stress) and 3D Solid elements.
  • Practical coding skills in MATLAB for FEA of 1D, 2D, and 3D structures
  • Practical skills in ANSYS for FEA of 1D, 2D, and 3D structures
  • Advanced skills in writing APDL scripts for Finite Element Analyses
  • Advanced plot techniques in MATLAB to make comprehensive comparisons between ANSYS and your FEM code results
  • Source codes (MATLAB + ANSYS) for all FEA examples are available for freely download and modify for future study

Course content

7 sections • 37 lectures • 10h 59m total length

  • Course Introduction9:21

    In this tutorial, the outline of the course will be given. Also, a list of the skills that you can gain after finishing the course is also given.

  • Basic Definitions6:36

    In this tutorial, you will learn all the basic definitions in solid mechanics and FEA. I know, learning theories is always boring, but please be patient and try to finish Lectures 2,3,4, because they are critical. In the tutorial, I will only summarize key formations that we must know. :)

  • Strain and Stress13:15

    In this tutorial, you will learn basic formulations for stress and strain. Again, please be patient and try to finish Lectures 2,3,4, because they are critical. In the tutorial, I will only summarize key formations that we must know. :)

  • Traditional procedure in FEA12:10

    In this tutorial, I will show you all steps that you need to go through when you conduct an FEA. After finishing this quick tutorial, now you can jump to interesting examples.

Requirements

  • Interested in Structural Analysis and Finite Element Analysis

Description

This course is in an example-based format for Finite Element Analysis, including various examples for 1D Truss, 2D Truss, 3D Truss, 2D plane stress, 2D plane strain, and 3D solid elements.

In each example, first, key formulations are provided to summary the theories. Next, you will be clearly instructed to write your FEM codes, ANSYS scripts. Every line of code will be clearly explained. After that, detailed instructions to extract results (displacements, stress, strain) from ANSYS and your FEM codes are provided. From there, you will learn how to make comprehensive comparisons between your FEM results and ANSYS to verify your codes and your understanding. This will be the best way to prove your understanding and knowledge.

Also, by practicing the examples, you can achieve very good or advanced coding skills in MATLAB and scripting in ANSYS.

Specifically, you will learn following main skills in this course:

  • Fundamental theories in Finite Element Analysis (FEA);

  • How to write FEM codes for various interesting problems of 1D, 2D, and 3D structures;

  • How to write advanced ANSYS scripts for various interesting problems of 1D, 2D, and 3D structures;

  • How to extract results from ANSYS and your FEM codes to make a comprehensive comparison.

  • Advanced MATLAB coding skills for FEA and plotting high-quality figures.

Who this course is for:

  • Engineering students or engineers who are:
  • Curious about structural analysis and FEA
  • Want to know the real physics behind FEA software to achieve an advanced level in FEA from scratch
  • Want to achieve an advanced level in using ANSYS from scratch
  • Preparing knowledge in FEA for job interviews, Master or PhD degrees
