TAE 405
Finite Element Analysis of Structures
2
Course Description
At the end of this course, the students should be able to:
1. use finite element;
2. explain solid works soft-ware and other soft-wares in the design and
3. identify simulation of engineering problems in automotive engineering.
Course Outline
Finite element analysis to solve problems related to solid mechanics, dynamics and heat-
transfer. In particular, students will have hands-on experience in using finite element analysis
software ANSYS and MSC Nastran to solve realistic engineering problems.
