The Modelling & Computational Mechanics major trains engineers to devise, develop and design new complex products and systems, particularly in the aeronautical and automotive fields.
This course is offered on the Paris campus.
This major is based on modelling and digital simulation, which helps students to understand the complete digital design chain: interaction with the environment, digital modelling and tools, dynamic optimisation, multiphysics and multiscale approaches.
Computer simulation software: 3Dexperience, CATIA, Abaqus, EnSight, ANSYS software suite, HyperWorks, ALTAIR software suite, Salomé platform, and more. Analysis and production tools for energy, materials, fluid dynamics, composites, production and manufacturing. A teaching chair with ALTAIR on system computer simulation.
