Virtual Nanotechnology Workbench for Engineering Education

Sažetak
During 1990s discrete element methods have been combined with finite element methods and a new simulation tool has been developed and named the combined finite element method. The first textbook on the combined finite-discrete element method has been published recently and key algorithms have been implemented in commercial codes. In recent years work is in progress to integrate these tools into the so called virtual experimentation framework covering different scales including atomic and molecular scales. The computational tools developed have a great potential in uncovering the mysteries of nano-scale world. This is done through advanced simulation and visualization techniques comprising millions and even billion of entities. In research terms these are able to put new light on the meaning of emergent properties. In the context of engineering education, these are very useful tools that can help students better understand the complex processes on atomic and nano-scale leading to both microscopic and macroscopic emergent properties. In this paper some key aspects of the new technology are presented together with simulation results covering some nano-scale applications. In the presentation itself, the potential for engineering education will be demonstrated through "movies from virtual world". These are basically virtual animations covering nano-meter pento-second domains.
