Description
This course is in an example-based format for Finite Element Analysis, including various examples for 1D Truss, 2D Truss, 3D Truss, 2D plane stress, 2D plane strain, and 3D solid elements.

In each example, first, key formulations are provided to summary the theories. Next, you will be clearly instructed to write your FEM codes, ANSYS scripts. Every line of code will be clearly explained. After that, detailed instructions to extract results (displacements, stress, strain) from ANSYS and your FEM codes are provided. From there, you will learn how to make comprehensive comparisons between your FEM results and ANSYS to verify your codes and your understanding. This will be the best way to prove your understanding and knowledge.

Also, by practicing the examples, you can achieve very good or advanced coding skills in MATLAB and scripting in ANSYS.

Specifically, you will learn following main skills in this course:

Fundamental theories in Finite Element Analysis (FEA);

How to write FEM codes for various interesting problems of 1D, 2D, and 3D structures;

How to write advanced ANSYS scripts for various interesting problems of 1D, 2D, and 3D structures;

How to extract results from ANSYS and your FEM codes to make a comprehensive comparison.

Advanced MATLAB coding skills for FEA and plotting high-quality figures.
