ETM 4911L - Applied Finite Element Analysis Laboratory (1)

Introduction to the computer implementation of finite element analysis using commercial software ANSYS or similar software. The focus will be on the development of skill sets for solving realistic and industry relevant structural/ thermal engineering problems. Through the various labs, students will gain proficiency in geometry preparation/cleanup, meshing, applying loads/ boundary conditions, solving and post processing techniques. Introduction to the techniques and best practices for solving challenging non-linear problems.
