Module name (EN):
Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
Virtual Vehicle Development
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
Automotive Engineering, Master, ASPO 01.04.2023
Module code: FTM-VFZG
SAP-Submodule-No.:
The exam administration creates a SAP-Submodule-No for every exam type in every module. The SAP-Submodule-No is equal for the same module in different study programs.
P242-0117, P242-0118
Hours per semester week / Teaching method:
The count of hours per week is a combination of lecture (V for German Vorlesung), exercise (U for Übung), practice (P) oder project (PA). For example a course of the form 2V+2U has 2 hours of lecture and 2 hours of exercise per week.
3V+1U+1P (5 hours per week)

Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

FTM-VFZG (P242-0117, P242-0118) Automotive Engineering, Master, ASPO 01.04.2021 , semester 1, mandatory course
FTM-VFZG (P242-0117, P242-0118) Automotive Engineering, Master, ASPO 01.04.2023 , semester 1, mandatory course
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
75 class hours (= 56.25 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 180 hours (equivalent to 6 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 123.75 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr. Hans-Werner Groh
Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Hans-Werner Groh

Learning outcomes:
H.-W. Groh: Image processing (1 V + 1 U/P)
After successfully completing this part of the module, students will be able to read out images from files, from video files, or from a camera, display them on the screen, and post-process them (e.g., convert them) as required.
 
M. Fries / TH. Heinze: GT-Power (1 V + 0.5 U/P)
After successfully completing this part of the module, students will be able to simulate the catalysts of internal combustion engines in terms of their flow behavior and pollutant conversion.
 
R. Tiemann: Introduction to multi-body simulation (MBS) based on the example of the automobile. (1 V + 0.5 U/P)
Today´s automotive development is characterized by the use of many calculation and simulation software tools. After sucessfully completing this part of the module, students will be familiar with the existing systems and how they work.
- Simulation methods
- Multibody simulation (MBS); contents, performance, limitations, providers.
- Designing vehicle models, use of control systems for longitudinal and lateral dynamics, e.g. ABS, TCS, ESC
- Virtual test drives
