    5 credits

  • Component

    Faculty of Science

Description

The objective of this module is to practice numerical simulation tools (finite element software or mechanism simulation) by insisting on their limitations, through case studies on: HPP isotropic elasticity, modal analysis, mechanism simulation, topological optimization, thermal and thermomechanical analyses,...). In most of the examples covered, we will try to show the interest of experimentation, both to feed the models upstream and to validate them at the output.
