This course introduces the student to the concept of computer-aided engineering. In this course students learn how to use computing tools for engineering analysis and design. A major emphasis of the course is the development and solution of mathematical models of engineering systems or components. Students see how simplified analysis diagrams (free-body diagrams block diagrams and control volumes) can be developed for real systems and components and how these diagrams can be used to develop the mathematical models. Topics include modeling importing various CAD model formats assembly and animation of the results of analysis static modal nonlinear contact impact failure thermal and multi-physics analyses and computational fluid dynamics for design. The laboratory component involves use of current CAD/CAE software packages.Prerequisite: ENGR4100 or Concurrent and MATH34003 Credits
