Structural Modeling for Engineers. 3 credits

Catalog description

This course provides an introduction to the computer modeling tools that underpin modern structural engineering practice: finite element analysis. Emphasis a combination of theory and practical experience with modeling software. Modeling concepts and the assumptions that engineers must make while building finite element models will be discussed. Topics include applications from structural analysis, structural design, and dynamic vibration analysis. Offered by Civil, Environ & Infrastr Engr . Limited to two attempts.
