# Finite Elements Method

## MANE-4240

This course introduces the methods upon which finite element software is built. Methods covered include construction of weak forms, discretization of the weak forms, the local/global linkage, construction of element shape functions, element mapping and numerical integration. The course will also cover the application of finite elements methods employing software tools. This will include open-source tools for the efficient implementation of finite elements and commercial software commonly applied in industry.
