Learning objectives

Knowledge

• Have knowledge on how to establish a geometrical specification of a product via computer based models using Computer Aided Design and Technical Drawings
• Have knowledge on how the Finite Element Method can be applied to obtain approximate solutions to physical problems governed by partial differential equations
• Have knowledge about the applications, assumptions, and limitations of the Finite Element Method
• Have knowledge about the compromise between accuracy and simulation time
• Have knowledge about the numerical steps taken in a finite element analysis in order to obtain results of deformation (strains) and stresses.

Skills
