Catalogue data
| Abstract | Participants will learn about the Computer-Aided Design fundamentals and methods that are necessary to model complex technical products. The focus will be placed on feature-based and parametric modelling that is common to all modern CAD tools used in mechanical engineering design. |
| Learning objective | CAD knowledge and skills will be further developed to enable students to recognize both the advantages and the limitations of current Computer-Aided Design tools. Examples of how to build feature-based and parametric models including design automation will be given along with common pitfalls. After taking the course students should be able to independently create effective feature-based and parametric models of mechanical parts. |
| Content | 1. CAD Methods and Feature-Based Design (2 afternoons): * CAD in the context of the design process * Feature types and their relation to mechanical design * Strategies for building feature-based assemblies * Integration of digital part libraries * Common issues and difficulties with feature interaction 2. CAD and Parametric Modeling (1 afternoon): * Designing and building parametric models * Design automation to create design variants * Common issues and difficulties with parametric modelling |
