The course content at a glance In our two-week intensive course on "Forecast Engineering", you will focus on the proficient handling of complex engineering tasks, using modern tools in a scientific way in existing interdisciplinary projects. A comprehensive grasp of special topics in civil engineering as well as the development of solutions by using modern methods and tools are some of the core aims of this course. Investigating current developments & creating a digital twin You will explore the current developments in structural engineering, aiming at the creation of a digital twin in which the real behaviour of structure can be mirrored. The planning of these creations is based on static calculations, but it is also increasingly based onÂ dynamic calculations â€“ especially in the case of extreme loads. In addition to the traditional force-based approaches, the experience and observations on the deformation behaviour of individual components and the overall structure under different conditions allows for the introduction of new design and evaluation criteria. Visualisation, modelling, reaction estimation, analysis, simulation methods & more During the two weeks, the transfer of real existing buildings into different basic structural models will be discussed, comparing their robustness with respect to increasing abstractness and reduced dimensionality. In addition, the estimation of reaction properties under dynamic load and certain interaction effects will be addressed. You will improve skills for visualising structures and validating the created models, and you will learn how to use state-of-the-art design, analysis, and simulation methods as well as innovative technologies such as VR visualisation tools. International expertise & on-site visits We want to provide you with insights into current research projects and international development trends. Therefore, we have invited international experts from partner universities and recognised research institutions to share their knowledge with you during impulse lectures. Furthermore, for an interesting glimpse into on-site engineering work, the course includes excursions to building sites and/or leading companies. After class: Join our vast accompanying programme! In addition to the class programme, a varied accompanying programme awaits you. You will have the opportunity to get in touch and exchange ideas with your fellow students and the course lecturers. You are welcome to join the numerous activities of the social programme of the Bauhaus Summer School: Meet participants from all over the world at our game night, international food evening, and free visit to the cinema or when diving into the vast cultural options that Weimar has to offer! We look forward to welcoming you!
