Finite Element Analysis JEE350
Introduction
Finite Element Analysis (JEE350) is an advanced unit that introduces the student to the theory and application of the Finite Element Method in engineering analysis and design.
In addition to learning the theoretical bases of the finite element method the student will also develop his/her applied/practical engineering skills by taking part in a problem based learning activity conducted throughout the semester.

Learning Outcomes
- Demonstrate knowledge of the theoretical principles and limitations of the finite element method for linear, non-linear, static and dynamic analyses.
- Develop appropriate and efficient finite element models of a given structure and critically assess the accuracy of the finite element solution.
- Compare and categorize a set of design options by analysing the results of finite element simulations in order to select the most appropriate configuration.
- Apply finite element analysis and rapid prototyping techniques in a design project and report the process and outcomes to a professional standard in oral and written form.
