Softwareentwicklung in der Numerischen Mechanik (Software development in numerical mechanics)

Topic

The students should get an insight into techniques of today's (commercial and research-oriented) program development. For this purpose modern tools of software development are introduced and deepened independently in the exercises. In a homework exercise, a problem of numerical mechanics is to be implemented programmatically with the help of the presented tools. The results are to be documented in writing and presented in a concluding lecture.
