Aims of the course unit: | ||||
The aim of the course is to make students familiar with contemporary computational multiphysical simulations, which are applied in the development of motor vehicles and powertrains. The main goal is to gain practical knowledge including finite element method (FEM), solution of body systems dynamics (MBD) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). | ||||
Learning outcomes and competences: | ||||
The course gives students the opportunity to learn about current computational models, applied to motor vehicles and powertrain development. | ||||
Prerequisites: | ||||
Matrix calculus, differential and integral calculus, differential equations. Technical mechanics, kinematics, dynamics, elasticity and strength. Fourier analysis and Fourier transformation. Finite Element Method fundamentals. | ||||
Course contents: | ||||
The course will provide an overview of contemporary computational simulations used in the development of modern vehicles. Within the course, selected physical processes including a basic mathematical description are repeated. Preference is given to practical knowledge including finite element method (FEM), solution of body systems dynamics (MBD) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Emphasis is placed on the practical use of simulations within commercial software. Computational simulations are applied to typical tasks occurring in the automotive industry, such as vehicle aerodynamics, powertrain dynamics, a solution of the powertrain component strength. | ||||
Teaching methods and criteria: | ||||
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures. | ||||
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes: | ||||
The course-unit credit is conditioned by active participation in the seminars, proper preparation of the semester work and fulfilment of the conditions of the control tests. The exam verifies the knowledge gained during lectures and seminars and is divided into a written theoretical part, part of the computational solution of vibrations and noise and oral part. The exam considers the work of the student in the exercise. The student has to score more than one half of points for the successful completion of the test. | ||||
Controlled participation in lessons: | ||||
The form of replacement of missed lessons is solved individually with the course person of the subject. | ||||
