Education level Second cycle Grade scale G U 3 4 5 Subject Civil Engineering Subject group (SCB) Civil Engineering Entry requirementsA basic understanding in structural design and FiniteElement Method. More information about English language requirements SelectionThe selection is based on 20-285 creditsCourse Aim The aim of the course is to introduce students to Finite Element modelling of various structural problems and to proper interpretation of FE results. Knowledge of engineering methods for problem solving, is required for the discussion of results obtained by commercial codes.Contents The course starts with basic introduction to geometry modelling or so called pre-processing. Students can choose three of four possible areas of structural mechanics to deal with: elastic-static analysis, elastic dynamic analysis, non linear analysis of steel and concrete. Commersially available FEM-programs will be used: ABAQUS (or similar) for calculation and FEMGEN/VIEW for pre-processing (and post-processing). A basic of our Intranet and practical use of various standards for computer communication (telnet, ftp,..) will be explained.Realization One numerical example within each area will be presented. After each numerical example is explained the students will obtain a compulsory assignment with specific questions and links to references needed. Assignments should be solved by groups consisting of two students. One final assignment gives each student the opportunity to chose problem and level of difficulty.Examination All assignments have to be written in a form of short technical reports using MSWord which will be published on institution’s web server where all assignments are presented. The final project is solved individually, be each student. The grades are individual and based on achievements during the entire course.ExaminerOve LagerqvistTransition termsThe course S7001B is equal to ABS120Literature.
