IML 404E - Comp.Simulations in Manufacturing Engineering

Course Objectives

1. To give the manufacturing engineering students theoretical and practical lab experience
2. To introduce the students well known computer software used for manufacturing process simulation and design
3. To provide the students with the knowledge and skills of design and application of manufacturing process simulations
4. To provide the students with the experience of teamwork and oral and written presentations.

Course Description

Computer simulation activities will be performed on manufacturing processes (such as bulk forming, sheet metal forming and machining etc.) that require intensive die-mold investment and usage of simulation techniques in the industry. The forming process simulations conducted by the students will be compared with experimental results (if available) and their evaluations will be summarized in lab reports. The significance of computer aided engineering and manufacturing methods and die design will be demonstrated with design projects and CNC machining application in the machine shop.
