Courses
Finite element modelling and simulation
ME-373
The objective of this course is to learn how to carry out rigorous and critical finite element analyzes of realistic problems in solid mechanics using state-of-the-art CAE software.
Numerical flow simulation
ME-474
This course provides practical experience in the numerical simulation of fluid flows. Numerical methods are presented in the framework of the finite volume method. A simple solver is developed with Matlab, and a commercial software is used for more complex problems.
