List of Experiments:
At list three exercises from the following areas.
1) Structural analysis
2) Thermal analysis.
3) Fluid dynamics.
4) Mechanical vibrations
5) Coupled field/ multiphysics
Each exercise shall cover tasks like Model-preparation, Mesh generation, Simulation, Post-
processing etc. in any analysis software such as ANSYS, NASTRAN, ABACUSS etc.
Students shall attach the solution of above exercise as part of term work.
Course Project
In course project students shall integrate and apply the knowledge gained during the
fundamental courses of Mechanical Engineering. The projects will be developed by teams of
maximum two students (using any analysis software) and shall consist problem definition,
model preparation, appropriate selection of elements, mesh generation, post processing,
simulation and validation of results.
Theory Examination:
1. Question paper will comprise of total seven question, each of 20 Marks
2. Question one will be compulsory and based on maximum part of syllabus.
3. Remaining questions will be mixed in nature (for example supposed Q.2 has part (a)
from module 3 then part (b) will be from any module other than module 3)
4. Only five question need to be solved.
In question paper weightage of each module will be proportional to number of
respective lecture hours as mention in the syllabus.
Oral Examination:
Oral examination will be on maximum portion of syllabus.
Term Work:
Term work shall consist of minimum 03 experiments, assignments (one on each module) and
written test. The distribution of marks for term work shall be as follows:
Laboratory work (exercises/assignments): .. (10) Marks.
Test (at least one): (10) Marks.
TOTAL: . (25) Marks.
