Traditional instruction in gas cylinder courses predominantly relies on theoretical formulas and simplified models, which inadequately visualize complex stress distributions and failure mechanisms. This study bridges the theory-practice divide by integrating finite element software into pedagogy, systematically analyzing its functional mechanisms across theoretical instruction, project-based practical sessions, and innovation skill development. Empirical validation through teaching cases demonstrates significant enhancements in students' depth of theoretical comprehension and engineering application competence. Pedagogical practice confirms the approach elevates the course's visual accessibility, interactivity, and technological currency, establishing finite element technology as a transformative enabler for gas cylinder education.
