Computer Based 3D Modeling of Structures - Advanced
Class Syllabus
Prerequisites
Class Text Book
Description
This course demonstrates the techniques associated with using one of the most sophisticated tools used for the design of structures. It goes over the graphical environment as well as the associated tools used to model and analyze plates and shell elements based on commonly used US Building Codes. It captures practical examples associated with common engineering design tasks that are used in today’s finite element modeling approach.Class Topics:
