Design oriented machine modelling using the finite element method

After the successful participation in the course Electric System Modelling the students are able to:

  • make the synthesis and the analytical resolution of the electrostatic model
  • make the synthesis and the analytical resolution of the magneto-static model
  • make the synthesis and the analytical resolution of the electro-magnetic system model

After the successful participation in the course Finite System Modelling the students are able to:

  • make the synthesis of finite element model
  • make the resolution of finite element mode
  • make the numerical resolution of the finite element method
