FEM Applications

The subject extends the students abilities to solve the technical problems via
computer modelling. The basic tool is the finite element method and appropriate
application software (Ansys). The subject is focused to these areas of computer
modelling, not covered by other subjects. They are specially : the non-linear
problems - geometric non-linearities, contact problems, the problems of
temperature dilatation, the heat conduction and convection - the steady-state
and the transient analysis, the advanced modelling techniques, the linear
buckling, parametric optimisation.
