Course detail

Computer Aided Design of Mechanical Structures

FSI-QMKAcad. year: 2013/2014

The course CAD offers necessary information to manage constructional projects by use of computer system CATIA. The students learn how to compose the constructional documentation in an optimal way. They also realize that CAD is only a support of constructional process which speeds up the work and makes it more effective, but definitely cannot substitute creative designer’s work and required technical knowledge.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Graduates can work in a course of basic modules of within the CATIA V5. It is able to choose the best modeling procedure according to established rules.

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of the 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

Terms of credit: attendance at exercises and term project
The exam verifies and evaluates the ability of modeling, methods of solution and their application to the given tasks. The test consists of the practical and oral part. Overall evaluation consists of evaluation and assessment of semester work during the test. Rating semester project has the same weight as an evaluation of test.
