BYGG2253 - Structural analysis

About

Lessons are not given in the academic year 2024/2025

Course content

The finite element method, or "Finite Element Method - FEM", is a numerical method that has a central position when it comes to strength calculations and calculation of deformations in constructions.

Students must be able to model and perform various analyzes of construction systems in Robot Structural Analysis and Ansys.

Contents

- Model construction elements and systems.

- Analyze construction elements and systems exposed to external forces.

- Load combination in the failure and service limit state.

- Optimization of constructions.

Learning outcome

Skills:

  • After completing the course, the student should have in-depth knowledge of how models in 3D construction tools are built.
  • After completing the course, the student should have knowledge of methods for building models.
  • After completing the course, the student should have knowledge of how the finite element method is used to determine relationships between stresses, deformation, stiffness and materials.
  • After completing the course, the student should have knowledge of optimized and thereby environmentally friendly manufacturing methods and be able to link these to the 3D modeling process.

Skills:

  • After completing the course, the student should be able to model with different construction elements and assess different boundary conditions.
  • After completing the course, the student should be able to calculate and analyze components with regard to stresses and deformation.

General competence:

  • Understand the calculation process in linear element calculations.
  • Have a healthy critical attitude towards calculated results.
