BME 528/528L Applied Finite Element Analysis/LabCredits: (3-1) 4
This course provides the information needed to start using the finite element method to solve boundary value problems. To achieve this goal, two closely related aspects are considered: The theoretical foundations of the finite element method and the use of existing finite element analysis software. Topics covered in the theory portion of the course include the direct method, the variational method, and the weighted residuals method. Topics covered in the laboratory portion of the course include the description of typical pre- and post-processing modules, different types of elements, analysis of simple time independent problems in the areas of stress analysis and heat transfer, and practical aspects related to the creation of a finite element model.
Corequisites: BME 528L Notes: This course is cross listed with ME 428/428L/528/528L .
