Course description and aims
Note at first that this course is actually provided at TAIST (Thai Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) in Thailand as an intensive course from 9AM until 12AM ( Thailand local time) from Monday to Friday for three weeks. Tokyo Tech students can take it using Polycom long-distance communication system in O-okayama campus on the condition that they can participate from 11AM until 2PM (Japan local time) for the three weeks.
Now, since automotive design and development cannot be realized without CAD and CAE, this course provides the basic theories and techniques of CAD (Computer Aided Drawing/Design) in the first week, the basic theories and techniques of CAE in the second week, and Practice of CAE model creation and analysis in the third week.
The emphasized aim is to study some core theories in CAD and CAE and to get state-of-the-art knowledge, which will be useful for students who will work as engineers using CAD and CAE in various industrial fields related to automotive industry.
Student learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) have knowledge of the fundamental projection theory from 3D to 2D.
2) understand the basic theory of the finite element method as the most powerful tool in CAE.
3) gain the basic skills of operating some CAD and CAE software through exercises.
Keywords
