Language English
2. Lecture/2 SWS/30
Prerequisites Basic knowledge in technical mechanics and material sci-
ence
Objectives 1. The students know the basic methods of numerical simula-
tion: Finite difference and finite element methods. They are
aware of the systematic errors of the methods. They are able
to work with the ANSYS FEM program in different areas
(electrostatic, thermal: static and transient, mechanical) in
order to simulate a broad range of sensor applications.
dents should be able to solve linear problems of
elastomechanics
Summary/Outline 1. Modelling of 2D electrostatic problems: Laplace-
Equation. Finite difference method: The method in 1D and
2D, order/accuracy of schemes, linear interpolation in 2D;
extensions of the method to 3D, extensions to other partial
differential equations.
Iterative methods for solving large systems of linear equa-
tions. Modelling of complex geometries with appropriate
meshes.
Finite element method 1D and 2D: Differential equation and
energy equation, minimizing the energy equation for triangu-
lar-shaped functions, system of linear equations.
Introduction of ANSYS: Simulation of 2D electrostatic prob-
lems, simulation of static and transient thermal problems,
simulation of 2D/3D mechanical problems.
