Computational Modeling Methods

Catalog description

Computational Modeling Methods is intended to introduce students to strategies in mathematical modeling of physical phenomena using modern computer simulation software. The course provides theoretical understanding and hands-on experience of the modeling techniques used in current engineering practice and allows students to apply these skills to engineering computational problems. Modeling of engineering processes requires users to have a working knowledge of computer simulation software and modeling techniques such as mesh construction and analysis. This course teaches the principles of mathematical modeling of various physical phenomena and allows students to learn the basic strategies of mathematical modeling and the proper use of computational tools for the analysis of topics involving structural, thermal, and materials engineering.
