MEEN 4140 - Finite Element Analysis

3 hours (3;2;1)

A numerical technique for finding approximate solutions to engineering solids and structural problems. The displacement method of finite element analysis using the iso-parametric formulation. Geometric modeling of solids and structures. Numerical coding with MATLAB for simple structural, fluid, and thermal analyses. Practice with commercial finite element software such as ABAQUS or ANSYS.

Prerequisite(s): MATH 3410, ENGR 2332, ENGR 2302.
