Course Objectives:This course is designed to provide exposure to the fundamentals of the Finite Element Method (FEM) and its implementation using ANSYS®. ANSYS software is used in a variety of engineering fields to model structures, fluids, electronics and system simulation. In this course, participants will learn how a problem can be formulated and solved using finite element technique. The hands-on practice session will be conducted on ANSYS® to apply the method to an engineering problem. The course will be more focused on the solution to the problems related to Mechanical and Civil Engineering domain.
The aim of the course is to enable the participants to understand the fundamentals of the FEM and how it can be applied to obtain approximate solutions to real-world problems using ANSYS®.
