Abstract:

The finite element method is an important numerical method for PDEs, which has many significant ideas and techniques.Hence, the students will face a lot of difficulties, especially, in the course of the finite element experiment. So, how to make the students adapt the learning? And how to guide them to use the computer to solve the PDEs? In this paper, the author explores the teaching of finite element experiment course, based on his personal teaching practice.

Key words: finite element method, numerical simulation, Matlab, FreeFem++, PDEs
