Course detail

Preprocessing of Computational Models

FSI-QR0 Acad. year: 2018/2019 Winter semester

Course Preprocessing of Computational Models introduces students to the problems of forming computational models for the CFD and FEM aplications. Students will learn the overall methodology for compiling the computational model. The focus of the course lies in mastering the forming of free tetra meshes. Students are generally familiar with creating mapped hexa meshes.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

The course enables students to acquire knowledge of contemporary computational models from the field of structural analysis and fluid dynamics.

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of Mechanics, Hydromechanics and Thermodynamics.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Student will be classified for regular active participation in seminars and development the desired project.

Aims

The aim subject is to acquaint students with modern methods of the automotive computational models preparation. The main task is to explain requirements for computational models and interpret efficient process for their compilation.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Attendance at seminars is mandatory. A single absence can be compensated by developing alternate task. Longer absences are replaced by special task.
