• Be able to formulate forward and inverse kinematics for 3D rigid multi-body systems
• Be able to formulate the equation of motion for planar and 3D rigid and non-rigid multi-body systems
• Be able to use a systematical approach for formulating the kinematics and constraints of a 3D cabled system 
• Be able to judge the usefulness of the applied methods

Competences

• Independently be able to formulate and analyse scientific problems involving a dynamic system comprised of 3D multi-body rigid and non-rigid elements
• Be able to formulate and analyse dynamic 3D cable models
• Be able to implement and analyse 3D multi-body dynamics on a digital platform

Type of instruction

The course will be taught by a mixture of lectures, workshops, exercises, mini-projects, self-study and e-learning.
