This course takes place in the 2nd semester (February-May).
These lectures are an introduction to FEM modelling using Python and Abaqus for linear thermo-elasticity problems.
The course will be taught in English and focuses on the practical solution of such problems with an application to materials science.
Only the key points of the finite element methodology will be addressed. Theoretical considerations will be kept minimal.
> 50% of the time will be devoted to practical sessions with Python and Abaqus.
