Learning outcomes
The course introduces students to the use of modern computer methods in the field of modeling and analysis. During the course, students will learn methods for effective work with large-scale data from modern CT scanners and their geometric representation. Furthermore, the student will be acquainted with selected environment for geometric design of longitudinal and planar textile structures and at the end will be able to analyze the basic mechanical properties of the virtual model using the finite element method.
Student gets a knowledge on computer modelling and analysis of complex structures (yarn, planar textile). The knowledge can apply in a practice for designing or optimizing.
Prerequisites
Student should have a knowledge on linear algebra and programming language (matlab/python).
