| Type of teaching activity | Content, sequencing and organisation |
|---|---|
| Practical courses | Learning the working manual of a finite element code through a case study of thermics, with simple 2D geometry. (3h). Students will work in pairs in all sessions. |
| Practical courses | Exercise with a case study of thermo-mechanics. Students will see the transition from the thermic solution linked to the mechanical solution (1h30) |
| Practical courses | Exercise on a beam recessed on one side and open on the other, subjected to a specific one-off load. The results will be compared with a theoretical solution and those obtained with other types of elements. A cylindrical type case study is then processed with the casing elements and compared to other types of solution. (3h). |
| Practical courses | Exercise on a simplified case study stemming from a biomechanical problem in order to become familiar with the complexity of the problem and certain simplifying hypotheses. The students will see the non-linear behaviour of the hyperelastic type with phenomena of great deformation and contact (3h). |
