UMA PROVA DE CONCEITO DE UM APLICATIVO WEB PARA ANÁLISE DE PÓRTICOS PLANOS

Abstract

The finite element method has been used for various purposes in engineering, but mainly for structural analysis. In this sense, the teaching of this method has evolved to increasingly assist students in learning. Therefore, the use of software in the classroom has become an excellent way to teach and apply practical engineering models. Despite this, most software for mesh refinement are desktop applications and have a high financial cost. Therefore, this work aims to propose a web application with computer graphics with the purpose of being used in an educational way for teaching and analyzing flat frames. For the development of the systematic review, the StArt software was used, having three stages, namely: 1) the protocol which is the study planning, execution which is responsible for identification, 2) selection and selection of studies and 3) summarization, which It consists of graphics and review results. The results show that there is a distributed amount of web software to aid teaching in different areas, however for teaching finite element methods with structural engineering on the web, which, as it is free, was not found, causing a lack of this application. In chapter 02 of this dissertation, the development of the WEB educational software is expected to be completed, to assist undergraduate and postgraduate students in developing the finite element method online and free of charge.
