MET 430 - Computer Aided Engineering


The construction of accurate finite element analysis (FEA) models will be emphasized in this course. Using modern commercially available FEA software, computer aided engineering (CAE) skills will be developed through CAE analysis assignments and a course capstone design evaluation project. Topics include geometry preparation, meshing, material and geometric properties selection boundary conditions, and interpretation of results.
