Introduction

The 5-days course will emphasize on the delivery of FEM fundamental understanding. The program will cover the following topics:

1. Basic concept of numerical methods
2. Basic concept of Finite Element Method
3. Bar element
4. Beam element
5. Plane truss structure
6. Plane frame structure
7. Eigenvalue problems (buckling and natural frequency)
8. Two dimensional elements (heat transfer and plane stress elements)

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the program, participants are expected to have strong understanding on:

1. FEM as a tool to solve differential equations numerically.

2. The step-by-step procedure of converting differential equations into matrix forms.

Who Should Attend?
