Aim:
The purpose of the course is to provide extensive, in-depth knowledge of the Finite Element Method (FEM). The essential goal is to give the student the understanding of the applicability, implementation, use and limitations of the method so that it can be used critically and in such a manner that the numerical behavior in the method can be explained using a well substantiated theory formulation.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Solid Mechanics, Finite elements, Continuum Mechanics, Fortran
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
