Sisältö

This course introduces the students to the principles of optimal design by computational simulations. The topics covered vary between fluid mechanics, structural mechanics and heat transfer, the key being composition of realistic 3D computer simulation model(s) of the product or process to be designed. Optimization of the design can then be carried out by changing the design parameters in the simulations in a controlled way.
- 3D solid modeling / ANSYS SpaceClaim
- Computational Mechanics / ANSYS Fluent or Mechanical
- Statistical design of experiments / MATLAB
- Learning design optimization through brief project assignments
