COMPUTER AIDED ENGINEERING (ANSYS)
EMS5CAE
2021
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject, fundamental knowledge of the Finite Element Method (FEM) applied to engineering applications including solids, structures and fluids will be introduced. General linear and non-linear analyses will be presented in a manner that enables students to develop a comprehensive understanding of how to integrate different computational tools in a real engineering business environment. Topics covered include common software platforms available to perform the engineering analyses design, modelling, manufacturing and control. Principles of modelling and analysing, such as FEA (Finite Element Analysis); CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) based on ANSYS will also be introduced. Upon successful completion of this subject, students will have developed a range of skills which will allow them to comprehend and effectively design engineering systems, using modern CAE tools, in a real-world industrial setting.
