******************* Course Structure ***************************
The course will take you on exciting journey of solving various engineering problem through FEA using ansys workbench.
Main theme of the course is to get you familiar with theoretical aspect of FEA and gradually moves towards more effective ways of solving problems. Along the with getting results from Ansys Workbench, more focus is given on verifying those results and corelating those results with physical situation. At the beginning of each module, theoretical aspect will be covered first and then we will solve problems using Ansys Workbench based on theory.
We will start with Theory of FEA , where you will get familiar with various ways in which you can find solution to given problem and the logic behind most of the CAE codes/tools/software's.
Below is the brief outline of the course and various modules involved in the course.
