Finite Element Analysis – Basic Principles and Applications

Course Details

This Finite Element Analysis – Basic Principles and Applications module from The Open University covers basic theory; modelling, meshing and analysing component models for stresses, deflections, temperatures and vibrations under operating conditions and loads; treatment of boundary conditions and restraints; and examples of good practice for safe and effective application in use.

Vocational relevance

The module will be particularly applicable for engineers and scientists who want to understand the fundamental theory of Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and gain some practical experience in the techniques to safely model and analyse engineering products and problems.
