1. The students know the basic methods of numerical simulation: Finite difference and finite element methods. They are
aware of the systematic errors of the methods. They are able
to work with the ANSYS FEM program in different areas
(electrostatic, thermal: static and transient, mechanical) in
order to simulate a broad range of sensor applications.
2. After having successfully completed the course, the students should be able to solve linear problems of
elastomechanics
1. Modelling of 2D electrostatic problems: LaplaceEquation. Finite difference method: The method in 1D and
2D, order/accuracy of schemes, linear interpolation in 2D;
extensions of the method to 3D, extensions to other partial
differential equations.
Iterative methods for solving large systems of linear equations. Modelling of complex geometries with appropriate
meshes.
Finite element method 1D and 2D: Differential equation and
energy equation, minimizing the energy equation for triangular-shaped functions, system of linear equations.
Introduction of ANSYS: Simulation of 2D electrostatic problems, simulation of static and transient thermal problems,
simulation of 2D/3D mechanical problems.

1. The students know different possibilities to represent data
and to transfer it in different ways. They can write simple
interface programs and are able to design process control
terminals using visualisation programs.
2. After having successfully completed the course, the students should
- to be familiar with the aspects of a scientific paper
- to organize and write effective research/project proposal
- to develop a clear and concise writing style
- to understand the correct way of writing numbers,
units, equations, and symbols
- to understand the proper use of punctuation and use
correct grammar in scientific writing
to give a short presentation with confidence, using the principles discussed in class
1. Wide area network (WAN), TCPIP Transport, Interface
between process and TCPIP, Data visualization in HTML,
Data visualization and process control by specialized programs, Wireless communication in networks.
