1. Module description
This course aims to equip students with the skills to assess and effectively use the potential and technologies of IT solutions to develop and simulate complex products in industry. An understanding of the information technology solutions along the product development process is key to this. Students also learn how to select suitable information technology tools for solving engineering problems.
Technical skills: 30% | Methodological skills: 30% | Systems expertise: 30% | Social competences: 10%

3. Content
In the second part of this module, students gain an in-depth understanding of the following topics: product data management (PDM), computer-aided engineering (CAE), digital mock-up (DMU), virtual prototyping, work planning methodology, CAM, and digital factory. Students also become more familiar with the methods and processes of system engineering and rapid prototyping. Tutorials take place in small groups and provide students with an overview of the technical possibilities of current development tools. Using Siemens PLM Suite, students practice strength calculation (CAE), multi-body simulation (MBS), multi-domain simulation (MDS) and manufacturing simulation (CAM) as well as the management of simulation data in the PDM system.
