3 ECTS / 30 h 
Cours magistral : 10 h
Travaux dirigés : 10 h
Travaux pratiques : 28 h

Objectives

This program focuses on modelling and simulation tools to metal processing analyse. Students and specialists will use current commercial softwares dedicated to specific processing operations to address the reliability and the relevance but also the limits of these commercial softwares. A rigorous formation for the students in casting and forging

physical mechanisms and induced microstructure (1) to model and simulate these processing and (2) to predict the in-life mechanical properties of components.

Targets

This course can be directly applied to liquid, semi-liquid and solid metal processing: casting (sand casting, die casting), bulk materials forming operations (forging, extrusion, drawing …) The objective is to acquire knowledge allowing to optimize these processes using numerical simulation software. Current  industrial areas are aeronautics, transportation, nuclear engineering, energy, biomedical engineering, containers, structures …
