Lärandemål

After a successful course, the student shall

Kunskap och förståelse

- demonstrate comprehension of factors that control the economic and environmental cost of castings
- display knowledge of how a casting should be designed to enable cost and material efficient manufacturing
- show familiarity with advanced product development methods as Finite Element Analyses and Topology optimization

Färdighet och förmåga

- demonstrate the ability to apply basic and advanced methods for design and manufacturing of castings with a low economic and environmental cost

Värderingsförmåga och förhållningssätt

- demonstrate an understanding of important factors that affects the economic cost and the environmental impact of a casting and a foundry

Innehåll

The course aims to provide knowledge about how to design castings and casting processes in order to provide optimal functionality at a low economical cost and environmental impact. The students will learn about drivers for economic cost and environmental impact in a casting and in a foundry. Design and product development methods are introduced, both basic methods and advanced computer based simulation methods as Finite Element Analyses and Topology Optimization.

The course includes the following topics:
- Drivers of economic and environmental cost in a casting and in a foundry
- Basic design rules and casting process simulations
- Product development and simulation methods
- Advanced product development and structural optimization methods
