Objectives

The objetive of this course is to give a panorama on the use of hpc-based computational mechanics in Engineering and Environment through the projects BSC are carrying on. This panorama includes the basics of what is behind the main tools: computational mechanics and parallelization. The training is delivered in collaboration with the center of excellence CompBioMed.

Please bring your own laptop for the practical sessions.

A number of fixed amount travel grants will be offered to a selected number of participants for covering part of their travelling expenses.
 
GRANTS:
