The course
objectives are to understand how engineering design efforts are supported
through the use of advanced Computer Aided Design (CAD). Advanced CAD
makes creating rich and complex designs possible. Advanced CAD (in
this offering CATIA V5) is used as a design tool to build parts and
assemblies, and to create drawings of those parts and assemblies. Students
will learn basic FEA (Finite Element Analysis) capabilities to conduct
structural analysis and computer simulation of designs. Students will
learn how to generate models, establish meshes, apply boundary conditions,
loads, and material properties to the model for structural analysis, and
then generate an FEA report. Through various exercises, design
projects with rapid prototyping models, and building design portfolios,
students will obtain a solid foundation in the use of advanced CAD for their
designs and engineering analyses.
