Manufacturing Process Simulations 7.5 credits

Course Contents

The course covers the use of powerful simulation tools to optimise manufacturing processes and develop sustainable, high-quality products. Students will explore simulations of various processes, including metal casting, plastic injection moulding, and plating operations, to predict material properties and refine product designs. With a strong industry connection, the course includes a project where students apply their knowledge to real-world manufacturing challenges. Examples are drawn from industrial manufacturing processes, with a particular focus on metal casting and polymer injection moulding. The course includes the following elements: - Simulation of manufacturing processes, with a particular focus on casting - Optimization of geometry and process parameters for high-quality manufacturing and minimisation of defects - Introduction to modelling and simulation of flow, microstructure formation and prediction of mechanical properties - Modelling and simulation of multiphysics problems, including temperature phase change, convection and electrical fields
