CAE pool

 

  • 1. what is the CAE pool?

    In the Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) pool, computer simulations are used to practice engineering procedures for the calculation and evaluation of structural-mechanical, thermal or fluidic problems.

  • 2 What is taught in the CAE pool?

    The use of engineering simulation programs is taught and practiced using typical tasks. The CAE pool is also used by students to independently solve more complex project tasks for computer-aided engineering (CAE).

  • 3. how does the internship fit in with the degree course?

    The CAE pool is used for all degree programs at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. On the Mechanical Engineering course, the module "Finite Element Method I" takes place in the 4th semester and the module "Structural Mechanics" in the 7th semester. The pool is also used for CAD internships. In the Energy and Environmental Engineering degree course, courses are held primarily in the modules "Technical Thermodynamics I to III" and "Fluid Dynamics". The Master's course also includes the modules "Finite Element Method II", "Lightweight Construction" and "Numerical Fluid Dynamics".

  • 4 How does the internship work?

    In the laboratory practicals, basic tasks are solved under the guidance of a professor or laboratory engineer. The tasks and instructions are available in advance in OPAL. The CAE pool is also used for the independent preparation of examination papers.

  • 5. what special equipment does the laboratory have?

    Hardware

    • 20 workstation Dell Precision 3650, Intel Xeon W-1290 with 5.2 GHz, 32 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, graphics card nVidia Quadro RTX4000 with 8 GB RAM, TFT display 27".
