Learning outcomes
The students acquire in-depth knowledge of the mathematical foundation of the Finite element Method. They are proficient in using a commercial FEM code to solve structural dynamic and static problems.
Course contents
The course provides students with the fundamental knowledge to perform structural analyzes using the finite element method, promoting an informed use of specific software for such analyses. The basic concepts of the finite element method, the different types of elements and their use in relation to the objectives of the analysis will be covered. A part of the course will be dedicated to the interpretation of the results and the validation of the developed models.
- Applied knowledge and understanding: has in-depth knowledge of structural analysis methods and software used to examine the structural and production constraints of industrial products. Is able to apply the tools learned to obtain data useful for the project.
- Autonomy of judgment: is capable of analyzing the results and validating the developed models.

Teaching methods
Lessons will be held using computers in classrooms equipped with slide projection. The course is divided into two parts: the first 30 hours will be dedicated to the theory of finite elements, while the second part will concern the practical application through the ANSYS software. Students can use the computers available in the classrooms or use their own by installing the ANSYS Student version.
Assessment methods
The exam consists of an oral test in which the topics covered in class will be discussed, accompanied by the resolution of an exercise using the software used during the lessons.
