RESULTADOS DE LA APLICACIóN DE LA METODOLOGIA DE AUTOAPRENDIZAJE DEL METODO DE LOS ELEMENTOS FINITOS A CASOS DE TRANSFERENCIA DE CALOR

this paper illustrates the procedures used by an undergraduate engineering student of just mediocre academic standing, when developing a self-learning process using a commercial finite element method package for heat transfer problems. the results show that the student's methodology was correct and allowed her/him to reach a satisfactory understanding of the software according to the criteria used in the application domain. we conclude that this methodology allows the students to achieve the required capabilities for resolving a significant set of heat transfer problems
