Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
knowledge
The students will have knowledge about the general techniques how to build the computer model in the Ansys code framework. The students will also know the fundaments of the finite element method.
understanding
The students will understand the computer modeling in Ansys and also the basic principles of the finite element method.
application
The students will be able to apply Ansys for solving of simple structural problems.
analysis
The students will be able to analyze the behavior of the mechanical structure.
Recommended Optional Programme Components
Common optional components are not offered, students of special interest can participate in departmental activities or can arrange consulting hours with lecturer.
