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.
