Advanced Computational Methods
Field of study: Mechatronics
Programme: Mechatronic systems engineering (ME8)
Semester: II
ECTS credits: 4
Course instructor: dr hab. inż. Grzegorz Kokot

Course description

The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the advanced computational methods of solving problems in mechatronics. The course covers both theory of computational methods and their practical aspects.

The practical part of the course is connected with computational simulations of simple mechatonics structures and processes using computer aided engineering software based on the finite element method.
