在分析有限元课程传统讲授方法的基础上，将有限元软件引入课程教学。为加强学生的学习主动性，培养创新实践能力，制定了利于本科生学习的新教学目标、计划、方法、内容和考查方式。通过将工程实例制作成ppt，详细讲解已知数据资料的使用方法，及利用有限元软件求解问题的思路、方法和具体步骤。在此基础上通过上机练习和课下练习，加深学生对有限元理论的理解。

On the basis of analysis on existing problems of the traditional finite element teaching method to undergraduates, the finite element software is introduced to course teaching. In order to enhance the activity of students in their study, cultivate their creativity and practical ability, teaching objectives, program, method, contents and investigations are formulated. Engineering examples are explained in detail for the usage of the given data by power point, simultaneously, the finite element method and steps are expounded detailedly. And then students participate in computer practice and exercises after class to reach deeper understanding of finite element theory in the process of discovering and solving problems constantly.
