Course Description

This course explains the basic principle of the finite element method for CAE, which currently plays a very demanding role in the field of manufacturing. The students use software to create and calculate models for static analysis, vibration analysis, and structural optimization calculation.
In this class, it acquires knowledge and technology and ability about diploma policy 2 and 3 and 4. and 5.

Course Objectives

This course aims to master the basic principles of the finite element method, use software to create models, calculate, view calculation results, compare with experiments, and understand the differences between real and computational models, static analysis, vibration analysis.

Grading Policy
