Course detail
Application of FEM
FSI-KAM Acad. year: 2016/2017 Winter semester
The course is focused on practical application of FEM software, because these methods are usual computing tools for design and verification of industrial facilities. This type of software is widely used in all branches of the industry worldwide. It is possible to solve a lot of hard and hard to analytically difficult-to-solve problems with their aid.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
Students will acquire to solve basic as well as combined types of loading with the aid of numerical methods FEM. On the basis of solving students will acquire a calculating algorithm so that they can develop their knowledge.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge ofelasticity and strength of structures, mechanics, limit states and theory of materials.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through exercises which are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Course-unit credit will be awarded for taking an active part in exercises.
Aims
The main target is to make students familiar with problems of solution with the aid of up-to-date software approaches and to prepare students for their future practice. Students will acquire application of ANSYS and they obtain basic knowledge of application of arbitrary FEM software.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Attendance at seminars will be checked and an absence will be compensated by self-study of the missed topic.
