B.E. (Automobile Engineering) Finite Element Analysis Lab Syllabus - Mumbai University 2026
The University has moved this degree onto NEP 2020 one year at a time. The first and second years are NEP 2020 syllabi; the third and fourth years are still examined on the REV-2019 'C' Scheme, which is what the University sets for them this year.

Syllabus for Finite Element Analysis Lab
the problem solved using the computer programs (Minimum 6) should be included in the Journal. The proposed list is given below:
- 1. Any two problems using bar element 2. Any two problems using truss element 3. Any two problems using CST element 4. Any two problem using axisymmetric element 5. Any one problem of free vibration analysis using bar element 6. Any one problem on steady state heat conduction 7. Any one problem for analysis of Beams. While performing the analysis the students should understand the concepts of selection of element type, meshing and convergence of solution.(using approach of refining mesh and or order of the element) Course Project: (Any one task out of the following proposed list ) A group of not more than four students, shall do
Module 1
- Finite Element Analysis of any mechanical engineering element /system, which involves element selection, assigning properties, meshing, assigning loads, and boundary conditions, analysis and result interpretation.
Module 2
- Develop the program to verify the results obtained by manual calculations for simple 1D/2D problems using Python, MATLAB programming platform etc.
Module 3
- Simulate a problem and validate the results with experimental results ( the test rigs from Strength of material /Heat transfer/Dynamics of machine/fluid lab etc may be used for obtaining the experimental results)
Module 1: Pair of Internal and External Examiner should conduct practical/viva based on contents
Module 3
- a. Practical performance ……15 marks
- B Oral………………... 10 marks Evaluation of practical examination to be done based on the experiment performed andthe output of the experiments during practical examination. Students work along with evaluation report to be preserved till the next examination. Text/Reference Books:
