Course detail
Computer-Supported Solution of Engineering Problems
FEKT-MPPRAcad. year: 2016/2017
An interpretation of the numerical methods implemented in widely-utilized CAD programs is given. This course covers the fundamental 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. A comparison is shown of different solutions and methods of calculation and simulation programs in computer labs.
