Course detail

Parametric Modeling - Inventor, Catia, Rhinoceros

FSI-ZM1Acad. year: 2013/2014

The goal of the course is make the acquaintance of common properties of CAD systems and to attach some practical experiences of 3D modeling of parts assemblies. Based on programs of Autodesk – the Inventor and Solidworks the students will acquired with solid design and of possible ways of design used in practice.
The course has been upgraded with the support of the OPVK project. "The Studio digital sculpture and new media project", reg. No. CZ.1.07/2.2.00/28.0278, is co-financed by the European Social Fund and the statebudget of the Czech Republic.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students obtain overwiev about technologies used in CAD systems and manage programs Autodesk Inventor, CATIA and Rhinoceros. Gained experience then will apply at work with next CAD programs.

Prerequisites

Knowledge from articles: Designed and CAD, Statics, Kinematics,CAD

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Course-unit credit is awarded on the following conditions: active participation in the seminars, solution of additional tasks in case of longer excusable absence. Examination: in 5. week the student must pass the final test to complete the course. In the test the student has to prove knowledge of basic terms in area of virtual prototyping, computer graphics.
