Simulation in Mechanics I

The aim of the course is to introduce students to numerical methods in the field of mechanics, focusing on specific problems such as dynamic analyses using the finite element method. Students will learn to work with mass and damping matrices and acquire skills in numerical modal analysis. They will also focus on solving motion equations using direct integration methods, both explicit and implicit approaches. In the field of thermal engineering, students will gain fundamental skills in heat transfer, including conduction, convection, and radiation. Finally, the course will introduce methods for solving hydromechanical problems and the basics of aerodynamics.
