Computational engineering

The time has come for a fresh look at computing for structural engineers in this age of machine learning and automation. This book is an introduction to computational aspects of designing for the built environment; bringing those aspects together to look at the whole design process, with minimal maths but plenty of of explanation and context.
We are on the verge of a new generation of technology and innovation. Finite Element Analysis is being linked parametrically with CAD; artificial intelligence and machine learning are being applied to everyday engineering tasks. What does today's graduate (and those with more experience too) need to know about these 'engineering assistants' in order to harness their full potential?

Peter Debney takes the reader on a practical, theoretical, and philosophical journey; balancing a complex subject with a fresh, engaging, and often humorous style. Forewords from Chris Wise, Tristram Carfrae, and Jon Leach precede chapters that discuss:

Design (including parametric design)
Modelling (and its problems)
Analysis (basics and methods/linear, nonlinear, and dynamic)
Optimisation
AI and machine learning
The future of engineering software
