Mechanical Modeling and Simulation – Case Study

The objective of this module is to provide practical experience with numerical simulation tools (finite element or mechanism simulation software), with a strong emphasis on their limitations, through case studies on: isotropic HPP elasticity, modal analysis, mechanism simulation, topological optimization, thermal and thermomechanical analysis, etc. In most of the examples covered, we will attempt to demonstrate the value of experimentation, both in terms of feeding data into the models upstream and validating them downstream.
