Supervisor: | doc. Ing. Vojtěch Turek, Ph.D. | |||
Supervising institute: | ÚPI | |||
Teaching language: | Czech | |||
Aims of the course unit: | ||||
The objective of the course is to acquaint the students with the foundations, application, advantages, disadvantages, and potential pitfalls of FEA and CFD. | ||||
Learning outcomes and competences: | ||||
The students will get basic information about FEM and CFD, while simultaneously they will try out these methods in simple exercises. The acquired theoretical and practical knowledge may be extended in the subsequent semesters in specialized follow-up courses (“Practical applications of FEA (KAM)” and “Practical applications of CFD (K20)”) that will prepare the students for successful application of FEA and CFD in industrial practice. | ||||
Prerequisites: | ||||
Basic knowledge of mechanics of solids, fluid mechanics, and mathematics. | ||||
Course contents: | ||||
This course focuses on modern numerical methods FEA and CFD, which allow virtual testing of equipment and their parts under various conditions. Both methods are widely used in industry due to the availability of hardware as well as specialized software. The students will be acquainted with theoretical basics of both methods and learn to solve practical tasks using the ANSYS Workbench environment. | ||||
Teaching methods and criteria: | ||||
The course is taught via seminars, which are focused on theoretical foundations, practical applications using basic examples, and consultations of individual projects. | ||||
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes: | ||||
To be awarded credits for the course, the students must actively participate in the seminars and successfully defend the project that they have worked on during the semester. | ||||
Controlled participation in lessons: | ||||
Presence in the seminars is compulsory. Absences are compensated by individual study of the respective topics. | ||||
