| Qualification Goals |
The students are familiar with the mathematical basics and have mastered the practical application and engineering work with the Finite Element Method (FEM) for the numerical solution of partial differential equations. They are well-versed in algorithms and implementation aspects in software, can investigate convergence empirically, have basic knowledge and experience in modelling application-related problems, for example in the fields of fluid mechanics and continuum mechanics. In addition, students are able to independently analyse concrete problems of selected aspects of engineering and solve them with suitable FEM methods. |
| Content |
The module covers the mathematical basics, aspects of implementation as well as the practical application of the Finite Element Method for engineering problems. This includes in particular the implementation and application of the method. Convergence and errors of Finite Element Methods, mathematical formulation of the method, and modelling using finite elements are also covered. Examples and applications from fluid mechanics and materials science. |
| Forms of Teaching and Learning |
3 hours of lectures and one exercise per week plus independent study. |
| Prerequisites for Participation |
Kompetenzen zur Numerik gewöhnlicher Differentialgleichungen (vgl. z.B. Ferziger: Numerical Methods for Engineering Application (chapters 1-5), Wiley, 1998) |
| Applicability |
This is a compulsory module for students of the track Computational Engineering in the master programme Computational Modelling and Simulation. |
| Prerequisites for the Assignment of Credit Points |
The credit points are earned if the module examination is passed. The module examination consists of a written examination of 120 minutes. If there are fewer than 10 students registered at the end of the registration period, the written examination can be replaced by an oral examination – as a group examination – with up to 3 students lasting 20 minutes; if this is the case, this will be announced to the registered students at the end of the registration period. Preliminary examination work lasts 10 hours. |
| Credit Points and Grades |
5 credit points can be earned through completing the module. The module grade corresponds to that of the graded work. |
| Frequency of Offer |
The module is offered in each winter semester. |
| Workload |
The total workload is 150 hours. |
| Duration of Module |
The module takes one semester to complete. |
