The main idea for the course realization is that the "contact teaching" will be in TEAMS. Links soon available.
Assignments - software
We will use
- Mathcad
- Matlab - Simulink - Simscape Fluids
You can
- download (Mathcad and Matlab) OR
- use Aalto's workstations remotely
Remote usage of Aalto's workstations
Check the page and possibilities, if you find it interesting:
mfavdi.aalto.fi
More info:
https://www.aalto.fi/fi/palvelut/it-palvelut-opiskelijoille (FI) ->Etätyö - VPN ja VDI
https://www.aalto.fi/en/it-for-students (ENG) -> Remote Work
Downloading and installing software
- Matlab + Simulink with Simscape (include Simscape Fluids) toolbox
https://download.aalto.fi/index-en.html
It is probably easier, if you have access to Aalto's workstations. If not, you can download Mathcad for free, at least for a while:
1. option
In Finnish: Mathcad Prime 5 kokeiluversio
https://mathcad.fi/index.php/lataussivu/
2. option
Mathcad Express Free Download: Free 30 Day Trial, version 6.0.0.0
https://www.mathcad.com/en/try-and-buy/mathcad-express-free-download
At the end of 30 days, you’ll then automatically have lifetime access to PTC Mathcad Express, a lighter version of PTC Mathcad 6.0.
