Introduction to Finite Element

Method (FEM) with Hands- Method (FEM) with Hands---on Altair

HyperWorks

(3–7 June, 2013)

Overview and Course Objectives

The Finite Element Method (FEM) / Finite Element  Analysis (FEA) is a numerical and computer-based technique of solving a wide range of practical engineering problems that arise in different fieldsand which are otherwise difficult to solve analytically. The FEM associated with high computing facilities and available commercial packages such as Altair HyperWorks has replaced the traditional method of validation of a design ortheory and has drastically reduced the time and money spent on physical testing. FEA is now a vital and irreplaceable tool in almost all engineering industries including automotive, aerospace, defence and many others. At the end of the course, the participants are expected to have fair understanding of:

·         Introduction to FEM and other numerical methods

·         Basics of linear finite element analysis procedures.

·         Modelling and analysis of structural, thermal and flow problems using FEM and HyperWorks

·         Computational and programming aspects of finite element analysis.

About Mechanical Engg. Deptt.

Mechanical Engineering Department started functioning in 1963 at the start of the institute. The department offers a four-year course leading to theBachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering. It also offers two full-time and part-time postgraduate programs in Manufacturing Systems Engineering & Energy Engineering and planning to start Design & Production Engineering from July 2013. Department also offers Ph. D programme in various specializations of the Mechanical Engineering.

Benefits of Attending the Course

Persons who would attend the course should benefit in strengthening their background in the following areas:

·         Understanding of the formulative steps involved in the finite element model development from the governing equations of engineering and applied science, particularly, structural, heat transfer and fluid flow problems.

·         Insights into the relationship between the physical data (e.g., loads, boundary conditions, constitutive behaviour, etc.) and the finite element model of a physical problem.

·         Ready to use the commercially available FEA Packages via. HyperWorks to analyze any engineering structure.

·         Knowledge to teach the finite element analysis procedures to others

Course Contents

The short-term course aims to include following themes:

·         Background: Introduction FEM and other Numerical Methods  

·         Basics of linear finite element analysis procedures.

·         Variational and weighted residual formulations

·         Finite element types (bars, beams, 2D, plate and shell elements) and their derivation via constant and higher order approximation functions.

·         Assembly of stiffness matrices, application of loading and boundary conditions

·         Applications of FEM to 1-D and 2-D Problems  

·         Computer Implementation of FEM

·          Hands-on experience of FEM using Altair HyperWorks

Experts

The course content will be delivered from a pool of experts on the subject from MNIT, Jaipur and other

academic institutes i.e. IIT’s/NIT’s & industry.

Who Should Attend?

This course is aimed at engineers, faculty of engineering at Degree / Diploma levels, PG students, Research Scholars, practicing engineers in government & industry of various disciplines, who intend to teach FEM and/or use the commercially Packages to analyze structure.
