About An introduction to finite element analysis

Engineering is at the heart of modern life and engineers now use computers and software in the design and manufacture of most of the products, processes and systems that make up our lifestyles. This course will introduce some of the computational modelling and analysis techniques now used and instil the need for comprehensive evaluation and checking when interpreting results. It covers basic theory, modelling, meshing and analysing component models for stresses, deflections, temperatures and vibrations under operating conditions and loads, treatment of boundary conditions and restraints, with examples of good practice for safe and effective application in use.
