Aims
This module aims to introduce methods for modelling and simulating engineering systems. Students will learn how to create models (typically 1-D) which may be represented using software, parameterized and simulated to create results which allow them to explore their behaviour.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Choose an appropriate method for modelling a simple mechanical engineering system.
2.
Use appropriate combinations of modelling elements which may be used to describe typical engineering systems.
3.
Construct computer-based representations of a simple model, set parameters and apply boundary conditions.
4.
Execute simulation, collect data and visualize results.
5.
Apply methods for checking the validity of results.
