The aim of the module is to provide advanced skills in mechanical computer-aided engineering, and to apply the skills using suitable software tools to solve realistic engineering problems. Several techniques will be explored, such as using bespoke mathematical models for complex part creation. Improving the productivity of using CAE packages by defining parameter relationships, parameterization, and design reuse. In the second half of the module, machine kinematics and kinetics will be explored and applied in the context of real-life examples. Finally, the structural integrity of components will be critically assessed considering the dynamics of machine operation.
