ME 4060A - Finite Element Analysis Activity (1)

Analysis and synthesis of steady-state and transient engineering problems associated with stiffness and influence coefficients, shape functions, element stiffness, coordinate transformations, and assembling of stiffness matrix. Solution to give deflections and forces, or analogous parameters for heat transfer and fluid flows. Apply a widely-used finite element computer program (NASTRAN) to structure design, heat transfer and/or fluid flow.
