Product- and system design

The course is built around a holistic engineering design process 1. System synthesis * Project planning and project management * Design for function, reliability, production, cost, etc. Life phase analysis. * Configuration and architecture. * Rules and regulations 2. System design and simulation * System modelling, simulation and analysis using CAE tools Mechanical systems desig, structural analysis, static and dynamic analysis Hydraulic power systems design and simulation Mechatronic systems design * Technical documentation, product data, structure and format, PDM tools. * Risk evaluation and analyses

Knowledge: After passed the exam the student should know the main steps and contents in a systems design process: * systems engineering as a process, strategy and methods * functional marine requirements - technical specifications * navigate and apply rules and regulations * synthesis and analysis of systems * technical documentation Competence: After passing the exam the student should be able to: * initiate, plan, execute and document a system design project using the above knowledge. * apply advanced comoputer tools for design and analysis of multidisipline systems    * performe dynamic simulations combining hydraulics and mechanical systems * produce required technical documentation General competence: After passing the exam the student should be able to: * perform multi-discipline projects * apply critical sense in evaluating design analysis results

Lectures, exercises and mandatory project work (individual).    Assignments are mandatory and minimum 2/3 of the exercises have to be approved before access to examination. An oral presentation of the project work must be given at the end of the semester.
