Introduction to the Basics of the
Reference: FE-B

Finite-Element Method
Level: Basic
Duration: 1 day
Audience: CAE engineers and designers wishing to get involved in structural crash and occupant safety
Objectives: Provide general knowledge about the FE method to help engineers get started or perform analyses more efficiently with improved evaluation of results.
Prerequisites: Engineering or technician background
Description: On the basis of a simple matrix method, the topic is gradually introduced. Formulations of element, material models and the treatment of nonlinear problems are the central topics. The course covers common explicit and implicit procedures mainly in the context of simulation applied to the automotive industry.
Course content:
  • Discretization
  • Element formulations
  • Stiffness matrix and solution of equilibrium
  • Material models
  • Introduction to nonlinear analysis
  • Representation of the explicit and implicit procedures with the help of a short and visible sample program.
