hours in mechanics ofmaterial course are allocated to a traditional in-class lecture with limited numbers of laboratoryexperiment. Due to the limitation of budget, space, and time, even laboratory experiments areoften limited to a simple testing, such as tension or torsion tests conducted on samples withsimple shapes.With the advancement of computation technology, instructors of engineering courses canimplement low-cost and quick hands-on experience by using a numerical simulation methodsuch as Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Today, many commercial FEA software are availableand used in the education of mechanics of material course3,4. In mechanics of material course,instructors can also utilize FEA built in the in Computer-Aided Design software
