Course Overview

This course include CPD certification and five NTU undergraduate credits upon successful completion of assessment.The course is taught at Level 4 – which is equivalent to first year undergraduate degree course.An A-Level Grade 3 or above is desirable in a subject linked to the construction sector or previous experience in the sector.

Course Detail

On successful completion of this short course you will:

Have a basic understanding of Finite Element analysis and its use
Be aware of the considerations required for applying the method to the modelling of components, and the limitations associated with the use of Finite Element modelling
Have a basic knowledge of how to interpret results obtained from Finite Element analysis
Be able to operate a standard Finite Element analysis package to solve linear elastic stress analysis, non-linear stress analysis and field problems
Be aware of the range of commercial Finite Element analysis codes available
Have an understanding of the role of finite element analysis in component design/optimisation; be aware of possibilities offered by materials modelling and its potential uses.

Eligibity Criteria

There are some requirments :

GCSE Maths or International equivalent, minimum grade 4 (C) or above.
GCSE English or international equivalent minimum grade 4 (C) or above.
