About This Course
- Benefits: They will solve textbook examples to understand the fundamental principles of finite element analysis and computational fluid dynamics. Then we’ll apply these principles to simulate real-world examples in the tool including a bolted rocket assembly and a wind turbine rotor. The language of the course is English.
- Importance of the Subject in Today’s Scenario: Simulation is goal-directed experimentation with dynamic models, i.e., models with time-dependent behavior. It is an enabling and very important technology in many application areas. Growing importance of modeling and simulation oblige us to reflect on professional and ethical implications, as well as desirable research and development areas of modeling and simulation.
