Course Objectives The objective of this course is to be able to analyze 2D or 3D structure systems for different load cases (dead, live, wind, quake, temperature, pre-stress or other) and load combinations using software package, to evaluate the solutions and to recognize some errors in modeling of the structure.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Idealize and classify structural systems.
  • Make structural modeling by using finite element method.
  • Calculate the internal forces and displacements by using finite element techniques.
  • Recognize and use the interfaces and commands of commercial software.
  • Model structures under several load types and combinations as 2d and 3d by using commercial software.
Course Description The course introduces finite element (FE) analysis as a common numerical analysis tool. It covers the fundamental theoretical approach beginning with a review of numerical integration, parametric geometry, and integral formulation and the implementation of FE analysis using Finite Element Programs. Students learn to use a commercial finite element software upon graduation.
