Finite element method (FEM) is a modern numerical method developed rapidly in pace with the development of computer, which basic principle is to easily solve the approximate problems instead of the originally complex actual problems. Actual engineer structure will be treated as a discrete model composed of many elements connecting with each other through nodes. By analyzing and solving every elements, the approximate solution of the original problem can be obtained. FEM can adapt to various complex shapes, with high accuracy, versatility and effectiveness. In recent years, the method widely applied in solving actual problems, such as mechanical, automotive, aerospace, civil engineering, has become an effective tool for engineering analysis.

This course is for undergraduates major in mechanical engineering. In the course, the basic principles and analysis processes will be introduced systematically, while ANSYS software will be taken as a tool. The aim of the course is to ensure the students to master the theories and solving process of FEM, and improve the ability of dealing with actual engineering problems.
