Finite Element Method
Introduction to the Finite-Element Method - FEM
- What is Finite-Element Analysis (FEA)?
- Historic overview
- Why use FEA?
- Input and output from an FEApp
- How does FEM work?
- Example in STAAD.ProExample in STAAD.Pro
- Exercise: Learn to use STAAD.Pro (plane-frame problem)
After the course, the student must be able to:
- Understand the basic concepts in Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
- Use a FEA program (STAAD.Pro 2007)
- Know the basic terms and algorithms behind the analysis
- Be able to analyse large complex structures
- Come up with realistic dimensions of structural elements.
