Prerequisites and co-requisites

Fundamentals of CAD application

Course content
  • Development of a practical, realistic application example from industry.
  • Definition of the physical boundary conditions.
  • Different flow conditions with different fluids and materials.
  • Evaluation with plausibility check.
  • Creation of own features - PTS Product Template Studio - to control the simulation and geometry.
  • Connection to other simulation possibilities.
Learning outcomes

Students are able to understand the relationships in a simulation environment. And can carry out a simulation themselves. The basis is a CAD environment with which various simulations can be operated. In addition to the focus on a Computational Fluid Dynamics simulation, the connections to other simulations are also shown.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Integrated course with practical CAD applications.

Comment

This course primarily deals with a practical application example with the help of numerical solution methods, the theory of fluid mechanics is not explicitly dealt with.
