This programme is an introductory course on computer aided finite element modelling and analysis of structural elements designed exclusively for beginners. Simulation of actual behavior of structural elements through high end computing techniques reduces time, cost and human efforts. However, simulating the exact test results is a great challenge to engineers. This programme aims to educate the student participants regarding creation of geometry, various modelling techniques, defining contact interactions, assigning boundary condition and loads as that expected in the real time. ABAQUS Simulia from Dassault Systems will be used for this programme. As an outcome of this programme the student participant would be able to carry out his/her research work for M.Tech/Ph.D thesis through numerical investigations on the RCC, Steel and composite structural elements.
