Guarantor

Ing. Přemysl Pokorný, Ph.D.

Department

Institute of Automotive Engineering (ÚADI)

Entry knowledge

Basic theory of elasticity, methods applicable in the design of supporting structures, theory and practical knowledge of the FEM.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

To get a graded course-unit credit students are required to participate actively in seminars and to work out the projects assigned to them.
Course-unit credit is awarded on condition of having attended the exercises actively.

Aims

The aim of this course is to acquaint students with problems in nonlinear FEM calculations of MSC MARC.
Graduates of the course can work within an environment of MSC MARC / Mentat, which is familiar with the basic types of solution of nonlinear problems (large strains and deformations, stability, nonlinear materials, plasticity, contact).
