Familiarizing students with engineering simulations based on continuum mechanics. Understanding a well-defined problem as a whole of physical laws and supplementary (boundary and initial) conditions that define the uniqueness and existence of a solution. Understanding the influence of the problem type on the selection and type of supplementary conditions, as well as on the choice of approximation for solving model problems. Enabling students to independently use commercially available software and to develop their own programs for the simulation of engineering problems.

By mastering the study program, the student acquires sufficient theoretical knowledge to recognize the problem type, as well as the type and number of supplementary conditions required to uniquely define the problem being simulated. Recognizes basic approximation schemes for typical problems. Masters the principles of elementary programming related to simulations of continuous media. Understands the structure of simulation software, which consists of pre-processing, simulation (solving), and visualization (post-processing).

1.Introduction to engineering simulations, where students are introduced to typical problems. 2.Fundamentals of numerical methods and mathematical modeling of physical problems. 3.Application of numerical methods for solving engineering problems. 4.Theoretical foundations of using modern software tools for solving typical problems.

1. Familiarizing students with various programming environments and software tools for engineering simulations. 2. Familiarizing students with the basic modules and commands of commercially available software. 3. Auditory exercises (classroom tutorials) elaborating on the lecture material. 4. Solving examples that encompass the complete process from geometry preparation to the display, verification, and validation of the obtained results. 5. Preparing students for writing seminar papers and presenting tasks.
