Numerical modelling
3 points * 25 lectures/tutorials/practical classes * Clayton * Prerequisites: MTE3506
Objectives To examine the process of constructing a numerical model, to obtain an introduction to the fundamentals of two major techniques used in numerical modelling and to become acquainted with the application of a commercial package.
Synopsis The bases of finite difference and finite element analysis, with application to heat flow and metal working. Use of a commercially-available package to become acquainted with the application of numerical modelling to support industrial and research activity in materials engineering.
