This is ASEN 6107:
Nonlinear Finite Element Methods
University of Colorado - Dept of Aerospace Engineering Sciences
Course PrerequisitesCourse Prerequisites
An advanced, graduate-elective course offered every 2 years (occasionally 3). Primarily a continuation of ASEN 5007: Introduction to Finite Element Methods (IFEM)
Prerequisites: A graduate-level intro course in FEM Uses Linear Algebra & Differential Equations at a deeper level than IFEM
Prior experience in solving nonlinear equations helpful but not required
