Summary
The subject improves student's knowledge in the area of numerical modelling of structural behaviour. It includes: creation of models with loads and suppports, non-linear investigation of structural behaviour (including constitutive modelling).
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Ability to create numerical models of 1D and 2D structures, ability to select proper load and supports models. Ability to understand and assess the results.
