Covers three-dimensional, feature-based parametric solid CAD. Students create complex three-dimensional parametric models and then generate two-dimensional views from those CAD models. Single parts and assemblies are developed, constrained, and manipulated in the modeling process.
Goals, Topics, and Objectives
- Use of computer: operating system, file system, hardware
- Configure the CAD environment
- Sketching and constraining
- Building a solid model
- Building a solid model from surfaces
- Editing a model
- Use of the Drafting environment
- Use of the Assembly environment
- Use of animation in an assembly
- Sketch 2D geometry using 3D parametric software
- Constrain 2D geometry using dimensions and geometric constraints
- Demonstrate use of interface, command entry and sequence, file preferences, and options in the construction of a model
- Create a basic parametric model
- Create features on model
- Create a part by use of surfacing commands
- Change a model by editing the sketch
- Change a part by use of a history tree
- Apply techniques needed for mathematical and scientific problem solving**
- Construct working drawings and views of parametric models using acceptable industry standards
- Revise and update working drawings
- Differentiate between dimensioning and tolerancing methods**
- Assemble parts using parametric assembly constraints
(**Includes elements of critical thinking)
Assessment and Requirements
All students will be required to complete a set of competencies measured through drawings, tests, written assignments, and achieving a cumulative average of 60% or above.
