Course Overview
The programme has been designed by the institute of Swayam with partnership with Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati to provide the applicants with a fundamental understanding in the domain of- heat transfer, fluid flow, residual stress generation, associated distortion, effect of metallurgical transformation and other topics that are directly or indirectly related with the process of welding. The online certification course on Finite element modeling of welding processes by Swayam will help the students to develop computational models for the process involved in welding with help of mathematical expressions.
The programme gives a special emphasis on the development of finite elements that are based on the numerical models of both solid state and fusion state welding processes. Over the course of twelve weeks emphasis will be given on the subject of - computational mechanics, mechanical engineering and advanced mechanics manufacturing processes. The Finite element modeling of welding processes training will not cover the domain of commercial software.
