Design plant using computer simulations
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: June 2024
This unit applies to the use of computer simulation for design of significant plant, equipment or manufacturing processes across all forms of manufacturing and engineering. Design activities may also include reverse engineering, design rectification or modifications of an existing design. It is suitable for plant and process designers and maintenance personnel, and those pursuing engineering or related qualifications and careers.
Prior experience in the evaluation of plant and processes; scientific principles; analysis of loads on machine elements; selection of components; mathematics, including calculus and differential equations, materials, manufacturing processes and computer-aided design (CAD) is required.
This unit of competency covers the use of computer simulations to develop engineering solutions for the design of plant, equipment and manufacturing processes. It includes mathematical models and computer simulation models, sensitivity estimation and optimisation to ensure reliability, validity and robustness of simulations.
