School event 3

Advanced methods and tools for multi-physics and multi-level design and analysis of automotive electrical actuation, combined with Personal development and team-working training are topics of the third school event under INTERACT. The one-week event will be organized as a three-course S&T module, combined with practical exercises and a workshop on complementary training. Advanced design, modelling and analysis methods and tools for automotive electrical actuation (TM3). The goal of the S&T module is to provide deeper understanding regarding the different advanced analytical and numerical modelling aspects that the INTERACT’s fellows are concerned with: material modelling for magnetic and structural analysis, losses in EMs, magnetic force computation, Model Order Reduction (MOR) techniques, system-level modelling, etc. The courses will comprise theoretical parts and illustrations by means of the software used by the fellows. Responsible: ULB. Personal development and team working (TM4). The Workshop will provide powerful thinking tools and step-by-step processes for designing executable action plans for strategies at any level. Good knowledge and practice of these techniques enables more efficient work of the fellows during and after completion of the initial research training. The goal of this school is to: (i) train the fellows in management skills, including personal time management, task assignment handling, prioritisation, schedule management, team and meeting leadership etc., and (ii) introduce and practice project management techniques, including project definition and set-up, controlling, risk management and reporting. The FAC will encourage using techniques learned here for regular progress reviews. A special session will provide all the necessary details, guidelines, evaluation criteria and measures in order to teach the young researchers how to write successful UE Framework Programs proposals. Responsible: UTCN.
