Description

The CAD/CAE studio houses the hardware and software systems focused on the design, analysis and calculation, used by the mechanics department, which, due to their peculiar characteristics, require specific means. The available equipment consists of workstations executing AutoCAD, Creo Elements / Pro, ANSYS, MathCad and Matlab. The room has air conditioned and fitted with special furniture and lighting. The CAD room is managed by the Department of Mechanics.The equipment of this laboratory has been partially financed by ERDF funds.
