Summary
In this subject is focused on use of the Finite Element Method for numerical modeling of problems of statics, non-linear statics and dynamics in the civil engineering. Main principles of heat transfer analysis in civil engineering problems are also given. The practical part of the subject is based on solution of sample problems with use of software.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Understanding of the method principles. Ability to define boundary conditions and loads, ability to select the proper model for problems of statics, non-linear statics, dynamics and heat transfer in civil engineering problems.
