Course detail

Computer Aided Technology

FSI-DPPAcad. year: 2020/2021

The lectures and seminars will enable students to acquire knowledge of mostly exploited regions of computer support in technologies of forming, welding and heat treatment. The basic part of the course is the work with simulation software using the finite element method and mastering the fundamentals of using software in direct support of technologists work. Mastering the work with above-mentioned software enable assessing of manufacturing process conditions and data necessary for determining of the optimal manufacturing technology for required part. The students will acquire basic experience for an individual orientation in problems of numerical simulations and analyzes using the finite element method.
