	Group Name	Advanced Mechatronics
Research Theme		Integration of FEM modal analysis modeling in lumped parameter modeling programs as 20-sim
Brief Explanation		Optimizing mechatronic product designs by analysis of structural modes with FEM software as Ansys or Femlab and integrate it in lumped parameter modeling programs as 20-sim to do total system simulation.
Research Steps		1. Studying interfacing aspects Ansys and 20-sim 2. Combine modal analysis output from Ansys with 20-sim system analysis 3.
Period		5 months, but can be extended as a 10-month project
Necessary Background, Knowledge, Skills		Matlab, FEM modeling, Modal analysis If necessary, some references can be specified.
