In this hands-on project, you will learn about the Finite Element Method (FEM) and validate a simulation case using the cloud-based simulation tool SimScale. We will set up a simple simulation case with a provided geometry to learn the fundamentals of the Finite Element Method and how a validation case is approached in the first place. We will walk through the classical three step process of every simulation which includes the pre-processing, processing and post-processing step.
