This table invites engineers and researchers to engage in collaborative discussion and sharing experiences on advanced structural analysis techniques, particularly finite element analysis of hydraulic structures.
Learning Objectives:
What does a typical finite element analysis project involve?
What level of complexity should be considered in modelling?
The importance of sensitivity analysis on the results: geometric variations, mesh refinement, material properties, loading and boundary conditions.
What are the potential sources of error in the finite element analysis?
What are some typical convergence issues and challenges associated with the finite element analysis?
How can the finite element analysis results be validated?
