Study Guide

Objective

On completion of the course, the student will,
- can transform a real-world design problem into a CAE software simulation model
- be able to perform a structural simulation in CAE software
- be able to critically interpret the results of the simulation
- be able to compare the results of the simulation model with practical measurement results and analyse uncertainties in both simulation and measurement

In addition, the student will strengthen his/her analysis skills, design skills and technical reporting skills.

Content

- Routine use of FEM analyses in CAE software
- use of measurement results in FE analysis
- linear static analysis to aid design
- topology optimisation in practical design work
- linear dynamic analysis
- heat transfer analysis
