Computer Aided Design of Mechanical Structures (FSI-QMK)

Academic year 2023/2024
Supervisor: Ing. Přemysl Pokorný, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚADI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The aim of the course is to acquaint students to the modeling in the CATIA V5.
Learning outcomes and competences:
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.

Links to other subjects:
recommended co-requisite: Transport Machines [QTZ]
compulsory co-requisite: Technology and Machines in Building Industry [QSV]
compulsory co-requisite: Supporting Structures of Machines [QNS]
compulsory co-requisite: Supporting Structures of Machines I [QN1]
Course contents:
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.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures. Part of the course can be excursions to the companies, which manufacture or operate the equipments from the thematic area of education.
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.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Course-unit credit is awarded on condition of having attended the exercises actively and worked out assigned projects. Presence in the exercises is obligatory.
