651-4144-00L | Introduction to Finite Element Modelling in Geosciences | 2 credits | 3G | M. Frehner, A. Rozel | |
Abstract | Introduction to programming the finite element method in 1D and 2D. | ||||
Objective | Topics covered include thermal diffusion, elasticity, stokes flow, and isoparametric elements. The focus is on hands-on-programming, and you will learn how to write FEM codes starting with an empty MATLAB script. Prerequisite: good knowledge of MATLAB, linear algebra, and knowledge of programming the finite difference method. | ||||
