Simulation-based design (SBD) is a methodology used in engineering and design to create virtual models of a system or product and test its behavior under different conditions. This introductory course on SBD teaches students how to use simulation tools to design and optimize products and systems, as well as analyze their performance.
The design of steel structures (and any structural system) is composed of four stages, which are: the choosing of a statical system, the determination of loads, the analysis process, and the design process.
By the end of the course, students should have the skills and knowledge necessary to use SBD tools to improve the performance and efficiency of products and systems in various industries.
