Metal tensile and compression experiments suffer from the problems of little equipment and large errors in experimental operations. Students are instructed to use CAE techniques to model and analyze the simulation of metal tension and compression experiments. The stresses and strains in each part of the metal are analyzed and patterns and influencing factors are obtained. Laboratory teaching content is linked to specialized software to increase students' interest in learning. CAE simulation software helps students improve their ability to design and analyze problems for subsequent professional courses, competitions, and projects.
