Course detail

Finite Element Method - ANSYS Workbench

FSI-ZAWAcad. year: 2011/2012

The course is designated to extend knowledge in the area of solution of engineering problems by FEM (Finite Element Method) using the computer system ANSYS Workbench. The students will get familiar with FEM program dedicated for designers and acquire practical experience with solution of concrete tasks.
