The laboratory of numerical simulations includes two mutually connected research workplaces: the Research workplace for strength and dynamic analyses and the Research workplace for thermal analyses. The laboratory is focusedon the implementation of numerical analyses and computer simulations of mechanical and mechatronic systems and technological processes of production and materials processing including investigation of strength, dynamic, thermal, fluid, and electro-magnetic tasks as well as dealing with complex contact and multi-physical issues. In the laboratory, there are the following program systems installed: ANSYS (modular programový systém pre riešenie multifyzikálnych inžinierskych problémov metódou konečných prvkov), DEFORM (program system for numerical simulation of forming and thermal processing processes), SYSWELD (software for modelling and simulation of processes of thermal processing and welding including phase transformations), MSC Marc (final-element/konečno-prvkový program system for solving high non-linear taksks), MSC Adams (dynamic simulations of virtual prototypes of mechanical systems), Dynast (simulation and animation of dynamic systems behaviour), JMatPro (software for calculation of material properties of multicomponent alloys), Wolfram Matematica, and Matlab.
Vybavenie laboratória umožňuje realizovať i experimetálne merania napätí a deformácií, tenzometrickou metódou (systém QuantumX firmy HBM), teplotných polí termočlánkami termokamerou Flir, merania v oblasti vibrácií a hluku (systémom PULSE firmy Bruel&Kjaer).
The laboratory equipment offers calculation operations in the field of design, analysis and optimisation of conventional industrial heatings of metal and non-metal materials for the processes of thermal processing, forming, welding, and founding including specialised high-frequency electric and induction heatings, heatings by laser or plasma beams as well as heatings in the conditions of electro-magnetic levitation. In the laboratory we have been providing various tasks investigation, consultation and review services for several significant indutrial plants, particularly in the field of machine engineering, power engineering, production and processing of metal, non-metal and composite materials, research and medicine.
