Teaching methods
The course focuses on strength calculation and optimization of structures using Creo software as part of the product design process.
The course consists of the following sections
- static analysis of the volume, shell and beam models
- static analysis of assemblies and joints
- static analysis of the mechanisms
- buckling analysis
- fatigue and dynamic analysis
- optimization of the structure
- heat transfer analysis
- evaluation of the reliability calculation
