Course detail

Computer-supported solution of engineering problems

FEKT-NPPRAcad. year: 2012/2013

Interpretation of numerical methods, implemented in widely-utilized CAD programs, is given. This course covers essential methods of solving both linear and nonlinear problems. Within each group, methods are classified according to their features and practical applicability. The comment is then centred on the well proven methods. For these methods, also the MATLAB source code is available in computer exercises.
