Learning outcomes of the course unit:
Subject "Modeling and simulation of technological processes" allows students to enter into the problem of development and solution of simulation models. The basis of computer simulation is the finite element method. Students will obtain basic theoretical knowledge and practical skills in modeling and numerical simulation of chosen technological processes. Emphasis is placed on understanding of the basic philosophy of design, verification and application of simulation models for solving engineering problems as a means for progressive design, analysis and optimization of technological processes. Students will also acquire an overview of the commercial specialized software systems for simulation of technological processes.
