Last dates for course registration and registration for examination are September 1 for the fall semester, and February 1 for the spring semester.
PhD students or holders of a Norwegian master´s degree of five years or 3+ 2 years (or equivalent) may be admitted (categories 3 and 4 above). PhD students must upload a document from their university stating that they are registered PhD students. This group of applicants does not have to prove English proficiency and are exempt from semester fee.
Holders of a Master´s degree must upload a Master´s Diploma with Diploma Supplement / English translation of the diploma. Applicants from listed countries must document proficiency in English. To find out if this applies to you see the following list:
Proficiency in English must be documented - list of countries.
For more information on accepted English proficiency tests and scores, as well as exemptions from the English proficiency tests, please see the following document: Proficiency in English - PhD level studies.
The course will be cancelled if less than five participants.
Course content
The course is divided into two main parts:
- Finite Element Methods- In this part, Student will learn about structures problem and simulation techniques with the use of Multiphysics modelling technique FEM (Finite Element Method)
- Finite Difference Method - In this part, student will learn about heat transfer problem with the use of Multiphysics modelling techniques FDM (Finite Volume Method)
In both, students learn about governing equations, discretization techniques, initial & boundary conditions and computational solving techniques.
The student will learn to use ANSYS® APDL Multiphysics and MATLAB® software in this course.
Objectives of the course
Knowledge:
After passing the course, the student is expected to be able to
- give an account of basics of multiphysics simulation and essential knowledge about setting up one.
- exemplify certain advanced concepts in relation to mechanics of materials and heat transfer.
Skills:
After passing the course, the student is expected to be able to
- Interpret the concept multiphysics and its relation to practical problems.
- Build knowledge in discretization techniques used in multiphysics simulations such as finite element method (FEM), finite difference method (FDM), etc.
- Discretize partial differential equations (PDEs).
