If you ever take a finite elements course, you'll probably be solving out some problems by hand on the exams. I did, at least, and it was in this millenium :) | |

| Jan 16, 2015 at 15:39 | comment | added | Russell Borogove | At a guess, I'd imagine they'd do similar kinds of analysis "by hand" (i.e. with electronic calculators or early computers) over a much smaller number of elements ("assume a spherical cow of uniform density...") and look at flows in an analog simulator (i.e. a scale model in a wind tunnel). | |
