Academic year 2020/2021
Supervisor: doc. Ing. David Paloušek, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚK all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
Graduates will be able to apply advanced approaches and principles of 3D parametric and surface modeling and specialized tools supporting the design process and solving engineering problems and tasks.
Learning outcomes and competences:
- Experience in creating 3D design data at engineering level.
- Ability to apply design methodology and modeling approaches to construction nodes, assemblies and entire products.
- Knowledge of creating parametric and algorithmically controlled CAD models.
- Knowledge of specialized engineering CAD modules.
Prerequisites:
Knowledge in area of design, CAD systems, statics, kinematics.
Course contents:
The course introduces the concepts and theoretical basis for the creation of CAD data, advanced modeling tools and methodology of work in 3D engineering parametric programs, creating parts and assemblies, adaptivity, parameterization, volume and surface modeling and drafting. Attention is paid to software design tools and their application to specific products. The course provides practical mastering of engineering tools realted with multi-disciplinary engineering tasks and problems, and integrates the knowledge acquired in basic studies in subjects focused on the design of machines and mechanisms.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. The exercises are focused on software design tools.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Course-unit credit is awarded on the following conditions: active participation in the seminars, creation of given 3D model.
Examination: course is finished by the test during 12th or 13th week.
<p>In the test, student has to prove knowledge of basic terms in area of virtual prototyping, computer graphics and digital technologies in the design process.</p>
<p>- a total of up to 60 points can be earned, </p>
<p>- the resulting classification is determined by the ECTS scale. </p>
Controlled participation in lessons:
Attendance at lectures is recommended; attendance at practicals is obligatory and checked by the lecturer. Maximum of two excused absences without compensation are allowed. In case of longer absence, compensation of missed lessons depends on the instructions of course supervisor.
