MEGR 3225 - Introduction to Finite Element Analysis


Credit Hours: (3)

Technical Elective. The basic concepts of finite element analysis (FEA) are introduced. The necessary concepts from linear algebra are reviewed. Simple elements such as truss and beam elements are emphasized, with an introduction to continuum elements for structural analysis. Introduction to heat transfer elements for steady state conduction and convection. Mathematics software is used to illustrate such concepts as the finite element assembly process, and the solution of the primary unknowns. A commercially available finite element code is also introduced.

Prerequisite(s): MATH 2171 , MEGR 2144 , and MEGR 2240  with grades of C or above.
Most Recently Offered (Day): Spring 2017, Fall 2016, Summer 2016
