CAE Analysis.

Catalog description

Semester course; 2 lecture and 2 laboratory hours. 3 credits. Prerequisites: EGMN 202 ; either EGMN 215 or both EGMN 110 and EGMN 210 ; and MATH 301 and MATH 307 , all with minimum grades of C, or permission of the instructor. Application of computer-aided techniques to the analysis of engineering problems utilizing linear algebra, computer calculations of matrices and numerical solution of governing differential equilibrium equations common to all fields of engineering. Students will be exposed to formulations of finite element methods of analysis. Emphasis is placed on practical aspects of structural FE modeling. Analysis programs such as ANSYS, MSC/PATRAN, MSC/NASTRAN and/or MATLAB are utilized.
