Content
This unit will study advanced aspects of modelling and simulation related to mechanical engineering. The topics may include: advanced modelling of mechanical dynamic systems; introduction to modelling fluid and heat transfer systems; or non-linear finite element analysis. The students will be introduced to analysis of real world problems, and the procedures to tackle such problems.
