Key Learning Objectives

Finite Element Analysis is a complex component when it comes to Structural Engineering. This 7-hour course – Finite Element Analysis – allows participants to know the theoretical bases of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and to know how to perform such studies in the SAFI Software environment.

Course Overview
Introduction to finite elements

Description and theory

Internal axes of beams and plates, Elasticity, Plate element in plane stresses, Plate element in bending, Plate element in transverse shear, Calculation of forces, Plasticity.

Plate distortion, Errors related to finite elements, Support conditions, Convergence tests.

Finite Element Modeling

Subdivision of existing plates, Mesh generator.

Finite Element Results

Von Mises constraints, Interpretation of results, Smoothing of results, Result ranges, Orientation of plates, Principal directions.

Examples

Integration lines

Shear walls, Slabs, Conventions, Design, Theory of elastic plates
