Description
The objective of this module is to provide hands-on experience with numerical simulation tools (finite element software or mechanism simulation software), while clearly emphasizing their limitations, through case studies on: isotropic HPP elasticity, modal analysis, mechanism simulation, topological optimization, thermal and thermomechanical analyses, etc. In most of the examples covered, we will seek to demonstrate the value of experimentation, both for informing the models during the initial stages and for validating them at the end of the process.
Objectives
Knowing how to use industrial calculation software
Knowing how to build a numerical model of mechanisms made up of non-deformable parts
Knowing how to build a numerical model of isotropic elastic deformable structures using HPP
Know how to build a numerical model of thermal and thermomechanical behavior
Knowing how to design a topological optimization study
How to Develop a Modal Analysis Study
Highlighting the benefits and limitations of a digital model
Demonstrate the importance of experimentation, both to inform the model and to validate it
