FEM and Design Analysis

Linear algebra is essential for FEM, matrix-formulated analysis, finite element analysis, assembly, loads, boundary conditions, FEM and differential equations. The learning objectives are supported through all central elements as well as the whole of the FEM is being implemented in a mathematics program on a computer and reported in writing.<br> The course deals with the analysis of designs using computer-based computational methods/techniques for quantitative problem-solving in the design process of mechanical systems, such as 1, 2, and 3-dimensional analyses, as well as thermal and static load cases. An essential part of the analysis process consists of modeling and interaction between software for different analysis models. The lectures in the course deal with theory and methods for solving differential equations, modeling strategies, and analysis types.
