CF4DT @ RWTH

Computational Foundations of Digital Twin Technologies

Welcome

Dear students,

Welcome to homepage of Computational Foundations of Digital Twin Technologies (CF4DT) course offered by the Chair of Methods for Model-based Development in Computational Engineering at RWTH Aachen University

The RWTH Moodle platform is used in conjunction with this webpage. The RWTH Moodle will be used for:

  • announcements (change of dates/rooms, exam related information)
  • lecture resources
  • exercise submission
  • exercise solutions
  • project submissions

This webpage will be used for sharing:

  • general information
  • lecture notes
  • exercises

Tracks
