Course detail

Computational Upgrades of CAD

FSI-ZVNAcad. year: 2009/2010

The course Computational upgrades of CAD is designated to extend knowledge in the area of solution of engineering problems by FEM (Finite Element Method) using the computer systems ANSYS Classic, ANSYS Workbench a COSMOSDesignSTAR. The students will get familiar with FEM programs dedicated for designers and acquire practical experience with solution of concrete tasks.
