Introducing students to engineering simulations based on continuum mechanics. Understanding a well-defined problem as a set of physical laws and additional conditions that define the uniqueness and existence of a solution. Familiarization with the influence of the type of problem on the choice and type of additional conditions, as well as on the choice of approximation for solving model problems. Enabling students to independently use commercially available and develop their programs for simulating engineering problems.
By mastering the study program, the student acquires sufficient theoretical knowledge to recognize the type of problem, the type and number of additional conditions needed to unambiguously define the problem being simulated. Recognizes basic schemes for approximation of typical problems. Masters the principles for elementary programming related to simulations of continuous environments. Observes the structure of simulation software consisting of preprocessing, simulation and visualization.
1. An introduction to engineering simulations where students are introduced to typical problems. 2. Basics of numerical methods and mathematical modelling of physical problems. 3. Application of numerical methods for solving engineering problems 4. Theoretical basis for the use of modern software tools for solving typical problems
Practical teaching consists of several parts: 1. Introduction to the different software environments and software tools for engineering simulations. 2. Introduction to the basic modules and commands of commercially available software. 3. Auditory exercises in which the material from the lectures is elaborated. 4. Solving examples that include the complete process from geometry preparation to display, verification and validation of the obtained results. 5. Preparation of students for writing seminar papers and presentation of assignments.
