Hello Dr. CEE, Hands down, this introductory lecture to the FEM is flawless. It clearly shows what lies ahead (no sugarcoating), it shows both the glories and the dreaded nightmares in unobscured details. Hats off to you Dr. CEE, it is mind-boggling how you are able to calmly slice through the breadths and intricacies of this subject. Dr. CEE, your descriptions of some of the necessary abilities on the various levels (BSc, MSc, and PhD) is very enlightening, and it is also at the same time a hard-hitting reality check, especially for someone like me at the lowest end of this “knowledge chain” the BSc. Level ☹. The reiterated philosophy of the CEE in this video is very encouraging and I think it will go a long way to smoothen the path for the various levels. I am looking forward to the series. Thank you Dr. CEE for brining such topics within the reach of everyone; You sir (scratch that, You Doctor 😊) are a shinning beacon of hope for many, keep up the good fight. Kind regards, DK
Hi there Engr. DK, I am happy that the first lecture in this series was a nice addition to your knowledge. I needed to be balanced as true to the channe's style. As simple as possible but with nice little "hints and info nuggets" for intrigued people of all levels. It is an important topic, as this could help understand how softwares work. It's ok, Dr. or not, I never cared about how ppl call me. Having a higher degree in a field makes you only feel humbled and responsible. Still, I try to keep the hidden gimmick alive, that I represent 3 people in this channel: The recorder dude (for software applications), the witty editor, and now the knowledgeable Dr. Anyways, stay tuned for more weekly content ^_^ Regards, CEE
I'm new to your channel. Came here to get just a bit of info about internal hinges in the Finite element method, but here I find myself wanting to watch the entire playlist because you're hilarious af😭😭
Hi there, I am really honored to have you here. Seems those vids are different than the normal lecture style you see in the university ^_^ Also, sorry for my late reply, I had tons of stuff to do so I was unable to reply in a timely manner,.
@@CivilEngineeringEssentials I wish all the teachers I ever had were like you. I'm currently building a web application that analyses beams, frame and trusses.. but also uses AI to teach the user/student about the structure he constructs and possibly show solutions using the old ways like MDM, Slope deflection e.t.c. If I come across any issues, could I reach out to you via email?
Hello CEE. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to learn more about the FEM approach. This lecture series is actually a breath of fresh air owing to the fact that we’ve been on robot for awhile now. I have always wanted to read the book “First course in FEM by Daryl Logan” but never had the time. I hope to make use of this fine opportunity. Is warping a DOF and how does it affect the 6 DOF we know. I remember one lecturer say it’s the 7th DOF. How true? I must say you are doing a great job as always. Keep up the good work as I follow you closely. I’d gladly buy your paid courses in the future if you wish to add paid courses to your channel God bless you.
Hi there Engr. Sarpei, It is always great to read your comment. Yes, indeed, I think it became time to launch the new video series on FEM theory. It will be a long series covering most content of the Daryl L- Logan book. This is going to be a more academic course, it would have vibes of academic teaching, but is necessary. The reason why I personally have some nice insights to RSA is because I do eat "FEM" for breakfast ^_^ I am also planning "in the future, once I have more time" to launch my series on other structural softwares. This channel is only going to grow, so stay tuned for more content, and thnx a lot for all the support. As for paid courses, I do not plan to have any. I am going to give everything to this channel free of charge. (Well, the channel is monetized, so I do get some slight benefit out of it). Warping being the 7th DOF is slight true depending on how you want to deal with it. You could deal with it by defining a new element with a singular DOF, thus adding to the DOFs of a node, or you could modify your own stiffness matrix. I will cover this topic in due time once I finish the shell element. Stay blessed and hope you an amazing day, CEE
Thanks alot for your videos. It would be interesting to see you model a masonry load bearing structure in RSA.. Or a beam in a buildong supporting a masonry wall which in turn is supporting a slab or other load. I've had difficulties approximating/modelling this
Hello kindly can you breifly explain the difference between the FEM and trapezoidal methods in terms of results.currently i am watching the robot structural analysis series and i noticed that when apply a shell that is support by a beam which is simply supported the results doesnt come to equal the known static equation wl^2/8 and i am so curious to know why iw that happening.thank you in advance
Hi there and thnx for your question, The trapezoidal method is an approximate method of load distribution on the carrying beams. It has the advantages that it is easy and adequate for hand calculation. However, as you mentioned, there will be a difference between your wl^2/8 and the moments you get from both FEM and calculation. if you use hand-calculation (trapezoidal and triangles), then your moment is different thatn wl^2/8 because the load is not constant. it is also different from the FEM, because in the FEM, the load distribution is related to the stiffness of the direction x and direction y (which includes the stiffness of the carrying beams). FEM cannot be easily predicted by hand-calculation, and is more accurate. Another advantage is that: when you use FEM calculations, your slab becomes discretized, which allows you to see the moments inside the slab as well as the deflections, allowing you to design the slab beside the beam. Hope it helped. Regards, CEE

That is a great idea, I will keep it in my mind after I finish the steel warehouse and RC structure series.
Hello kindly can you breifly explain the difference between the FEM and trapezoidal methods in terms of results.currently i am watching the robot structural analysis series and i noticed that when apply a shell that is support by a beam which is simply supported the results doesnt come to equal the known static equation wl^2/8 and i am so curious to know why iw that happening.thank you in advance

The trapezoidal method is an approximate method of load distribution on the carrying beams.

However, as you mentioned, there will be a difference between your wl^2/8 and the moments you get from both FEM and calculation.

Hope it helped.

@@CivilEngineeringEssentials kindly can you explain what do you mean by the load in not constant in hand calculation?
Hi Dr. CEE,
Can we get the handouts of your lectures all 27 parts (PPTs/PDFs in the video). It would be helpful if you share Dr.
Yes. Here you go.
