Professional interest

The course aims to give students a basic understanding of some of the main tools for the analysis and simulation mechanical structures, and their scope, utilities and limitations for solving different types of problems. It discusses practical cases of application of computer programs based on the method of finite elements and dynamic simulation software, based on the previous study of the theoretical underpinning. This knowledge may be useful in analyzing the technical and economic feasibility of using these techniques in mechanical design projects developed by engineering departments.

Methodology and grading

Grading

The evaluation of the subject will be carried out through the execution of several exercises, individually, that will be proposed throughout the course. They shall consist of case studies of design and / or analysis of machines or mechanical systems in which the analysis and simulation tools introduced in the subject are made use, and must be submitted within the deadlines established in each call.

Students who do not opt for continuous evaluation, or who do not submit the proposed papers in a call, may expressly request that the subject be evaluated through a final exam. It will be a practical exam in the computer classroom, in which they must use the analysis and simulation tools.
