EGR 545 - Advanced Finite Element Analysis

Admission to the MSE program. (3).

Finite element analysis for discrete and distributed structures. Prediction of load, deflection, stress, strain, temperature and flow distributions, with emphasis on underlying physics and numerical methods. Use of computational design tools such as MATLAB, ANSYS and Pro/MECHANICA to solve engineering problems. Not open to students with credit for EGR 445. Graded ABCDE.
