No longer offered. It was in Waterloo’s calendars from Fall 2006 (as far back as the archived Graduate Calendars go) to Winter 2022 and last ran in Winter 2022. It isn’t in the 2024–25 or later calendars.
When it ran
- F20
- W22
Ran in 2 terms, Fall 2020 to Winter 2022.
The concept and theoretical basis of the finite element method are presented as a logical extension to solid body stress analysis of the matrix methods applied to structural frames. Students will develop and use software to analyze representative two- and three-dimensional problems. Introduction of other field problem applications included.
