Nptel: Finite Element Analysis - Web Course

This document outlines the syllabus for an NPTEL Finite Element Analysis course aimed at postgraduate students in civil, mechanical, aerospace, and naval architecture engineering. The course introduces the basic concepts and techniques of finite element analysis and applies them to 1D, 2D, and 3D problems in civil engineering. It covers topics like element properties, frame structure analysis, solid mechanics, plates and shells, and additional applications. The overall objective is for students to learn how to develop computer codes to solve physical problems using the finite element method.
