Rules for using the Computer Lab

Computer terminals are for the exclusive use of students and staff of Warsaw University of Technology. Login required:

• for employees: name.surename@prac.wut.pl
• for students: id@stud.wut.pl - where id stands for USOS ID, i.e. a part of the student mail login placed before the @ sign.
• password - same as for mail and Office365.

General characteristics of the programmes

• ArcGIS Pro – a geographic information system (GIS) package designed to operate on spatial data. Allows creation, processing, evaluation, presentation and sharing of geographic information. Includes tools for designing two-dimensional and three-dimensional views, processing images from various sources (drones, satellites, lidar and others), identifying spatial patterns with respect to their changes over time, making predictions, presenting data on interactive maps, and comprehensive data analysis and modelling. See detailed information on ArcGIS Pro
• MATLAB – a programming language and interactive environment designed to perform scientific and engineering calculations, implement algorithms, analyse data and perform computer simulations. Application areas include signal and image processing, telecommunications, control system design, financial mathematics, among others. The package includes: a proprietary high-level programming language, tools for importing data, functions to incorporate C and Java code, interactive tools for data visualisation (two- and three-dimensional graphs, animations), a library of computational functions (linear algebra, statistics, frequency analysis, optimisation), and tools for creating a graphical user interface (GUI). It is also possible to download measurement data and control external devices via the computer's ports. See detailed information on MATLAB
• Siemens NX (formerly Unigraphics) – an integrated CAD/CAM/CAE (computer aided design/manufacturing/engineering) system for performing typical engineering work. It includes modules for two-dimensional and three-dimensional graphical modelling, constructing assemblies, performing analyses and simulations, creating drawing documentation and programming machining processes. Main fields of application include industrial design and styling, packaging design, mechanical and electromechanical system design, mechanical and electromechanical simulation, tool and fixed equipment design, product manufacturing and manufacturing process management. See detailed information on Siemens NX.
• SOLIDWORKS – an extensive CAD (computer aided design)software package with 3D imaging capabilities. It is designed for engineers, designers and manufacturers. On the basis of a three-dimensional component model, it enables the creation of assembly models, technical drawings, visualisations, motion and load simulations, animations, task schedules, production documentation and performance of many other specialised functions. SOLIDWORKS is designed for the development of structures with up to several thousand components.See detailed information on SOLIDWORKS
• STATISTICA – an extensive set of basic and advanced tools for statistical data analysis. It allows access to data by direct entry or import from selected files (spreadsheet or text documents), processing of data in a number of ways, and construction of queries, charts, reports and models on their basis. In addition, the programme allows you to operate on databases, perform data transformations and create applications (programmable system with built-in Visual Basic language), as well as providing machine learning procedures. The STATISTICA package finds numerous applications in science, technology, engineering, education and management. See detailed information on STATISTICA
