The structural integrity of a system can be readily determined using computational techniques, enabling more sophisticated designs than previously possible. This course provides students with the tools required to leverage these modern designs.

This course will provide students with an understanding of the operation and limitations of computer aided engineering (CAE) and analysis systems, and provide opportunities to develop the basic skills required to operate such systems. Material presented will include brief discussion on the architecture of CAE systems, numerical methods and finite element methods. The advantage of CAE analysis is demonstrated by several engineering assignments that students must complete on a CAE facility throughout the semester. Considerable emphasis is placed on the appropriate use of the finite element method in the design process.
