With this function you can construct your weekly calendar of lessons, which is customized on the basis of the courses that you intend to follow.
Warning: the personal schedule does not replace the presentation of the study plan! It's an informal tool that can help you better manage the organization of class attendance before the study plan presentation.
After the study plan presentation we recommend you to use the Lecture timetable service in your Online Services.
To create your customized schedule follow these instructions:
- Click on the "Enable" link to proceed. You will be asked your surname and first name in order to determine your alphabetic grouping.
-
To add or remove courses from your personal schedule, use the small icons which are found next to the courses:
 addition of the course removal of the course selection of the section of the Laboratory of Architecture
(Note: the effective area in which the teaching will be carried out will be determined after the presentation of the Study Plans)
-
The sidebar on the left displays the number of lessons included in schedule.
There are also these commands:
 View the schedule: allows the viewing of the weekly synoptic schedule Delete the schedule: cancels the selections made
When you have finished the entry, you can print the calendar you have made.

Course objectives
To offer a hands-on training in computational modeling of biomechanical problems.
Course description
Aim
The course introduces to the numerical techniques currently adopted for the design and evaluation of biomedical devices and to the assessment of physio-pathologic states and surgical procedures. Along the course, the student will practice with two standard commercial codes aimed at structural and fluid-dynamics analysis, respectively.
Course contents
The course is organized in two parts. In the first part, students will be introduced to the theoretical basis of the computational methods implemented in a finite element commercial software for structural applications. The second part is dedicated to the theoretical basis and computational methods used in a finite volume commercial software for fluid dynamic applications. Each part comprises a mix of lectures, tutorials and short projects, accordingly to the following scheme:
Introduction to computational mechanics: the different steps needed to perform a numerical simulation will be presented starting from the standard continuum equations to their discretization and solution; in this framework, the main features of the numerical methods used for the solution of partial derivative equations will be described and compared. In particular the solution schemes of the finite element and finite volume methods are presented.
Principles of solid mechanics simulation: the commercial package Abaqus will be introduced, the main steps for the problem solution including the boundary conditions, meshing algorithms and solution strategies will be reviewed for linear and non-linear simulations. In detail, standard displacement-based approach will be introduced together with discretization strategies of governing equations, numerical integration issues and algorithms for solution of linear and non-linear problems.
Principles of fluid mechanics simulation: the commercial package Ansys-Fluent will be introduced together with its capability to handle laminar and turbulent, steady and transient flows. In detail lectures will describe the way the linear algebraic form of the field equations can be achieved, the iterative methods for algebraic system solution, the upwinding schemes, the pressure-velocity coupling algorithms and how to check convergence and result accuracy.
Laboratory activity
Laboratory activities start from the very first day. For each part of the course the students will develop two tutorials (one week per tutorial) individually, and a three-week short project working in groups of two people. For each project, students will have to issue a short report.
Expected learning results
Knowledge of basic strategies for the numerical solution of biomechanical problems. Students will have the ability to clearly and comprehensively communicate a problem statement, solution methods, results, and limitations of the solution.
