Course Description
The speed and power of today’s computers have brought about the development of software that can solve highly sophisticated engineering problems faster than ever before. These tools use advanced numerical methods to solve complex structural, fluid flow, electromagnetic, and heat transfer problems in 2 and 3 dimensions. To stay ahead of the curve today’s engineer must understand and be able to utilize these advanced tools. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is one such tool that enables modeling of complex systems and advanced analysis of the physical forces influencing these systems.

This short course will focus on the basic understanding of structural FEA methods, the fundamentals behind it, and its application. Attendees will receive hands-on experience with ANSYS FEA software, applying FEA methods in the classroom. As part of the course each student will receive the student version of ANSYS ED v8.0 CD to take home.

Interested students can put their names of the waiting list prior to May 13th, 2005. Students on the waiting list will be signed up for the course on and after May 13th, subject to space availability.
