CAE and Modern Calculation Methods

Module name (EN):
Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
CAE and Modern Calculation Methods
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
Automotive Engineering, Master, ASPO 01.04.2021
Module code: FTM-CAE
SAP-Submodule-No.:
The exam administration creates a SAP-Submodule-No for every exam type in every module. The SAP-Submodule-No is equal for the same module in different study programs.
P242-0105
Hours per semester week / Teaching method:
The count of hours per week is a combination of lecture (V for German Vorlesung), exercise (U for Übung), practice (P) oder project (PA). For example a course of the form 2V+2U has 2 hours of lecture and 2 hours of exercise per week.
3V+1U+1P (5 hours per week)
ECTS credits:
European Credit Transfer System. Points for successful completion of a course. Each ECTS point represents a workload of 30 hours.
6
Semester: 1
Mandatory course: yes
Language of instruction:
German
Assessment:


[still undocumented]
Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

FTM-CAE (P242-0105) Automotive Engineering, Master, ASPO 01.04.2021 , semester 1, mandatory course
FTM-CAE (P242-0105) Automotive Engineering, Master, ASPO 01.04.2023 , semester 1, mandatory course
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
75 class hours (= 56.25 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 180 hours (equivalent to 6 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 123.75 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr. Frank Ulrich Rückert
Lecturer:
Prof. Dr. Jörg Hoffmann
Prof. Dr. Frank Ulrich Rückert

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will have acquired theoretical and practical knowledge about modern simulation methods for the advance planning of the system behavior, function, structure, life cycle and sustainability of vehicle systems and their components.
They will be able to understand and master the use and handling of powerful 1D/3D CAE systems, as well as 3D printing, in particular the properties of process media and materials. In addition, they will be able to perform couplings of strength, flow, and thermal simulations.
 
Based on finite element methods and finite volume methods, in combination with statistical design of experiments (DOE), students will be able to evaluate development parameters and develop vehicle systems and their components to specification.
