Welcome!
|
Welcome to
the Carnegie Mellon FEM/ANSYS Web tutorial. By going through the
problems you will learn: (1) what Finite Element Method (FEM) is, (2) how
to model engineering analysis problems using FEM, and (3) how to use
a commercial FEM package, ANSYS. This is an easy and effective
way for you to learn an essential computational skill not directly covered
in the regular required courses, but useful in your future career in
industry.

Self-paced
learning
|
This Web tutor is a part of the
"self-paced learning on the Web" initiative of the
Mechanical
Engineering Department at Carnegie
Mellon University. We encourage all undergraduate and
graduate students to finish this web tutor before they graduate. To
accommodate your already busy schedule you can start and complete the
material anytime
during your academic years at Carnegie Mellon. While each section is
designed for one semester of self-paced learning, it is totally up to you to
decide the pace of learning--it is ok to start in your freshman year and
finish it in your senior year! The department will keep track of which
problems you have completed and will issue a certificate when you finish
all the problems in each section of the material.
