Lecture

Finite Element Simulation

Description

This lecture covers the basics of finite element simulation, focusing on the choice of element types and convergence. It includes a detailed explanation of the approximations in FE models, h-refinement, p-refinement, and the accuracy/computational cost tradeoff. The instructor discusses methods for conducting a mesh convergence study and explains the importance of local mesh refinement. Practical examples and convergence graphs for 2D and 3D elements are also presented.
