Programme

In SIM, the students cover the following themes:

structural dynamics ;
crash and impact modelling ;
biomechanical systems analysis ;
composite structure ;
computational fluid mechanics ;
validation of numerical models ;
optimisation in mechanical engineering.

Equipment

The computers and software packages are the same as those used in industrial sectors, such as Abaqus, Ansys, Catia, Comsol, MSC Adams, MSC Nastran, suite HyperWorks …

Placements and industrial relations

Training in SIM ends with an end-of-studies project lasting 6 months. It can take place with a major group (Arcelor Mittal, EADS, EDF, PSA, Renault, Valeo…), or with a research institution (CEA, CETIM…), service sector enterprises or software editors (Dassault Systèmes, Digital Product Simulation, ESI…). This project can be accrued abroad.

International

Over 75% of the SIM students benefit from at least a semester at a host university's studies: Univ. Zaragoza (Spain), TU Twente (Netherlands), Cranfield (UK), Goteborg, or Linkoping (Sweden), Shanghai (China), Seoul (South Korea) and Singapore.

Professional openings

SIM graduates are mostly recruited in the following sectors: automobile, aeronautics, consumer goods, energy, railroad, space … they can also work for large corporate groups or research institutions, or with software (digital modelling) editor.
