CAD Modeling (FSI-ZM1)

Academic year 2021/2022
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Daniel Koutný, 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 of 3D CAD modeling, strength of materials, mechanical design, statics, kinematics at the bachelor's degree level.
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:
Lectures, exercises, self-study.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Conditions for granting a Course-unit credit:
- submission of tasks prepared during exercises (max. 60 points),
- passing a theoretical test (40 points).
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.
