Syllabus
This course programme will cover two of the most relevant methods of computational engineering: Computational structural mechanics (FEM) and computational fluid
mechanics (FVM).
Learning Outcomes
After completion of this course programme students
Understand the basic principles of structural mechanics
and fluid dynamics
Will be familiar with numerical methods (finite element
method and finite volume method)
Have received a training of software for computational
structural mechanics and computational fluid dynamics
Will be able to interpret the results
Can apply quality control for the computational
methods and
Estimate effort and risk of the computational methods
