CAD260 — Solid Modeling
Students will study and learn advanced conceptual and design techniques, using the integrated tool known as Mechanical Desktop. In addition to AutoCAD r2000, this package includes Autosurf (for surface modeling), and AutoCAD Designer, for 3-D solid and assembly modeling. Students learn how to use constraints and parametrics, and become familiar with mass properties such as mass, moments of inertia, and radii of gyration. Group projects allow student to gain a feel for the team concept, and to become familiar with real world design techniques.
