Remarks (specific information about assesment, entry requirements, etc.):
The written exam has an open book status.and has the form of a questionairy about the findings as written down in your Lab Report. The Lab Report must be used as a dictionairy during the exam. At the end of the exam the questionairy together with the Lab Report are to be handed over, The grading is according to both items.
Goals:
Acquiring the skills for doing a dynamic analysis of a general three dimensional multibody system with the helpof a standard MBD software package.
Computer use:
The course and the course/lab work are fully computer-oriented.
Laboratory project(s):
The Lab assignment consists of a number of problems that have to be worked out with the standard MBD software package ADAMS. Your findings are to be put down in a Lab Report.
Design content:
No
