General information
After completing this class, students will be familiar with a typical commercial finite element (FE) software that is used both in industry and in academia for practical and research purposes. The students will learn how to evaluate and improve the quality of numerical results by using different solution techniques. Based on canonical and complicated test cases, the students will examine aspects of computational expense, mesh quality, convergence and problems or pitfalls that are relevant to the practitioner.
Basic knowledge of linear and nonlinear finite element methods is recommended, albeit not mandatory
