Subject syllabus

Subject includes an explication of FEM foundations for linear structural problems and also has practical focus:
1. Lecture – Elementary thought of FEM. Selection of interpolator functions. Types of elements. Derivation of stiffness matrix of a truss element. Equations of an elasticity mathematical theory. Minimal principle of potential energy. Process at FEM calculation. Conditions of convergence.
2. Lecture – assembly of global stiffness matrix and right side. Foundations of Ansys Workbench (description of individual models, work with help). Example 1: application example – beam in 3D.
3. Lecture – Computational modelling. Simplified exercises from 3D to 1D and 2D. Example 2: wrenche.
4. Lecture – Choice of boundary conditions. Singularity. Reading geometry from CAD model and its modification. Example 3: symmetry usage.
5. Lecture- Error of FEM calculation (aposteriori estimate). Adaptive FEM algorithm (h-method). Example 4: Think walled pressure tin.
6. Lecture - Seminary work.
7. Lecture – Seminary work.
8. Lecture – Seminary work.
9. Lecture – Final test, finalization and handing over a seminary work.
