Simulation Theory and Application

Module name (EN):
Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
Simulation Theory and Application
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
Automotive Engineering, Master, ASPO 01.04.2021
Module code: FTM-MATH
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.
P242-0104
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.
5V (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: 2
Mandatory course: yes
Language of instruction:
German
Assessment:
Written exam (90 min.)

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

FTM-MATH (P242-0104) Automotive Engineering, Master, ASPO 01.04.2021 , semester 2, mandatory course
FTM-MATH (P242-0104) Automotive Engineering, Master, ASPO 01.04.2023 , semester 2, 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:
FTM-VUQ Experiment Design and Quality Control

Learning outcomes:
In the context of engineering problems, students will be familiar with the basics of mathematical modeling and numerical methods. They will be familiar with the basic properties of partial differential equations, simple solution methods and know about the possibilities and limitations of numerical methods using the finite difference method. They will understand the procedure and properties of the finite element method through the use of a simulation tool.
