| Course abstract | |
| Students are introduced to the use of Finite Element Method (FEM) and the use of FEM software RFEM and IDEA StatiCa for structural analysis, as well as the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) software Tekla Structures for structural design. | |
| Learning outcomes and their assessment | |
| Knowledge of the use of FEM and the use of FEM software RFEM and IDEA StatiCa for structural analysis, as well as the use of BIM software Tekla Structures for structural design.
Skills to use FEM software RFEM and IDEA StatiCa for structural analysis, as well as to use BIM software Tekla Structures for structural design. Competencies: 1. Students are able to prepare presentations and informative materials on Finite Element Method (FEM) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) software – lectures. 2. Students are able to create models in Finite Element Method (FEM) software RFEM and IDEA StatiCa, as well as are able to create model in Building Information Modeling (BIM) software Tekla Structures – laboratory tasks, course test. |
