Section Description

This online course introduces the fundamentals of finite element analysis (FEA), solid modeling, and stress–strain analysis, along with essential post-processing techniques. Students will gain practical skills in applying computational tools to analyze and visualize mechanical behavior in engineering systems. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Understand the process and applications of finite element analysis. 2. Create and manipulate solid models for engineering analysis. 3. Perform stress–strain analysis. 4. Apply post-processing techniques to interpret and present simulation results effectively.

Section Expectation

Students should expect to spend at least 2 hours a week on coursework outside of class, with additional time for the semester-long project.

Evaluation

Grades are based on attendance, weekly assignments, and the final project.
