Numerical Modelling & Engineering Sims (H7137)

Numerical Modelling and Engineering Simulations

Module H7137

Module details for 2021/22.

15 credits

FHEQ Level 5

Module Outline

The module will deliver content on fundamental numerical modelling techniques with a specific focus towards engineering applications. The teaching will consists of lectures, which will focus on applied numerical modelling techniques with applications specific to engineering. The laboratory sessions will deliver practical, hands-on experience with commercial software; students will conduct both Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations.

Module learning outcomes

Demonstrate comprehensive knowledge and understanding of mathematical and computational models relevant to the engineering discipline, and an appreciation of their limitations

Monitor, interpret and apply the results of analysis and modelling in order to bring about continuous improvement

Apply quantitative and computational methods in order to solve engineering problems and to implement appropriate action

Extract and evaluate pertinent data and to apply engineering analysis techniques in the solution of unfamiliar problems

Please note that the 5XÉçÇøÊÓƵ will use all reasonable endeavours to deliver courses and modules in accordance with the descriptions set out here. However, the 5XÉçÇøÊÓƵ keeps its courses and modules under review with the aim of enhancing quality. Some changes may therefore be made to the form or content of courses or modules shown as part of the normal process of curriculum management.

The 5XÉçÇøÊÓƵ reserves the right to make changes to the contents or methods of delivery of, or to discontinue, merge or combine modules, if such action is reasonably considered necessary by the 5XÉçÇøÊÓƵ. If there are not sufficient student numbers to make a module viable, the 5XÉçÇøÊÓƵ reserves the right to cancel such a module. If the 5XÉçÇøÊÓƵ withdraws or discontinues a module, it will use its reasonable endeavours to provide a suitable alternative module.
