Digital Teaching
Depending on the Covid 19 situation, the common parts of the tutorial will be held either in presence in the PC pool (S4|10-6, Dolivostr. 15) or remotely. Please register for the course via TUCaN and Moodle for more information.

Lehrinhalte
The theoretical knowledge from the lecture “Introduction to the Finite Element Method” is applied and extended in this tutorial. Therefore, the commercial finite element software ANSYS is used to solve various problems from structural and solid mechanics.

Four practical exercises are carried out to gain a better insight into the workflow with a FEM software tool. The exercises and the documentation of results will be done in teams of 2 students. Each of the problems will be first introduced and discussed in a common session, then the teams will have 2-3 weeks to solve the current problem and document their results.
