This course introduces the fundamental concepts of the Finite Element Method (FEM), covering element formulations, numerical procedures, and modelling aspects. A key focus is the hands-on implementation of FEM algorithms in Python.Disclaimer: The course is not about commercial software, but about core concepts and numerical foundations.

The Method of Finite Elements II is a continuation of Method of Finite Elements I. Here, we explore the theoretical and numerical implementation concepts for the finite element analysis beyond the linear elastic behavior. This course aims to offer students with the skills to perform nonlinear FEM simulations using coding in Python.*This course offers no introduction to commercial software.
