| Course Description |
This course will explore and emphasize the theme of Computer-Assisted Structural Analysis.
Structural analysis involves a lot of calculations, and traditional solution methods have been eliminated due to the emergence of computers. Although computers can solve analytical problems for engineers, if engineers do not have the ability to judge computer results, the consequence is that computers will not only fail to solve the problem, but may also bring disaster. This course teaches students how to move from theoretical analysis to computer application, which means training students to have full manual (hand calculation), semi-automatic (using CAL-90) to fully automatic (using SSTAN) analysis capabilities.

Structural analysis involves a lot of calculations, and traditional solution methods have been eliminated due to the emergence of computers. Although computers can solve analytical problems for engineers, if engineers do not have the ability to judge computer results, the consequence is that computers will not only fail to solve the problem, but may also bring disaster. This course teaches students how to complete a 2-D to 3-D structural analysis from theory to computer analysis.
