This course program will cover two of the most relevant and important methods of computational (numerical) engineering: computational structural mechanics and computational fluid mechanics. By first studying the basic principles and application of computational aided engineering (CAE) for the design of machines and machine parts (e.g. automobiles), the students will then be introduced to quality control and fault analysis. A module of German language for beginners is part of the programme as well as study visits to companies and institutions.

Period
06-07-2014 - 26-07-2014 (3 weeks)

Target group
Upper undergraduate students of engineering (all fields) and computer science after two years of study or graduates with good standing.

Course aim
After completion of this course programme studentsUnderstand the basic principles of structural mechanics and fluid dynamicsWill be familiar with numerical methods (finite element method and finite volume method)Have received a training of software for computational structural mechanics and computational fluid dynamicsWill be able to interpret the resultsCan apply quality control for the computational methods andEstimate effort and risk of the computational methods
