| 101-0185-01L | CAD for Civil Engineers  Number of participants is limited to 30 per course. Point in time of enrolment of course is decisive. | 2 credits | 2G | T. Vogel, K.‑H. Hamel | |
| Abstract | Introduction to computer aided design and drafting in 2D and 3D with examples from structural engineering. | ||||
| Learning objective | Having followed the course, students are able to a develop a 2D-structure (formwork drawing) and they know the principle of a reinforcement module. They have also got an introduction to a 3D program (reinforcement in 3D). They are therefore better prepared for - the bachelor thesis in the 6th semester, - an eventual internship between bachelor and master course, - the project works in the master course, - the master thesis. Above all they practice spatial sense and acquire contextual knowledge as future superiors of draftsmen and designers. | ||||
| Content | Dimensioning. Generation of sections and views. Application of the reinforcement module. Production of plans ready for delivery. | ||||
