1. Course Description:
This course provides a comprehensive understanding of the theoretical foundations and
practical applications of Finite Element Analysis in engineering. Students will learn how to
discretize complex structures into finite elements and apply appropriate boundary conditions to
simulate real-world conditions accurately. This course aims to develop students' skills in
interpreting FEA results and assessing the behavior, performance, safety of engineering designs.
Emphasis will be placed on applying FEA techniques to solve practical engineering problems,
optimize designs and make informed design decisions. By the end of the course, students will
be equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively utilize FEA as a powerful
tool in engineering analysis and design processes.
