CIVL20082 Modelling & Simulation (Civil) 10 Semester 2 Undergraduate Level 2 Steven Lind Unit coordinator 1 FHEQ level (Framework for Higher Education Qualifications) ' Middle part of Bachelors ' European Credit Transfer & Accumulation System Rating : 5.0 <p>This unit introduces the uses of computational modelling within Civil and Structural engineering as a design and analysis tool. It highlights the benefits and also possible pitfalls of using numerical models. The need to validate all computer models is emphasized by imple examples that may not be accurately captured by a computer model without careful thought. The potential power of computer models is introduced by starting with simple examples that can be validated by hand and then introducing complexity that cannot be easily analysed using hand calculations.</p> <p>This unit introduces the uses of computational modelling within Civil and Structural engineering as a design and analysis tool.&nbsp; It highlights the benefits and also possible pitfalls of using numerical models.&nbsp;&nbsp; The need to validate all computer models is emphasized by imple examples that may not be accurately captured by a computer model without careful thought.&nbsp; The potential power of computer models is introduced by starting with simple examples that can be validated by hand and then introducing complexity that cannot be easily analysed using hand calculations.</p> <p>To provide an introduction to modelling and simulation as relevant to civil and structural engineering.<br />To develop students&rsquo; ability to use common structural analysis and computational fluid mechanics modelling packages<br />To develop students&rsquo; ability to judge the quality and reliability of their numerical predications.</p> <p>1.
