    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

    - Mathcad (possibly free Mathcad Express)
      - The Mathcad version in Aalto is Prime 5.0.0.0 (in Workstations)
      - Mathcad Express available is Prime 6.0.0.0 (free version).

    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.
