Eligibility

General entry requirements for bachelor's level (first cycle)
Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling the requirements above.

Specific entry requirements

The same as for the programme that owns the course.
Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling the requirements above.

Course specific prerequisites

The courses LMU631 Designintroduction and LMU602 Computer aided design, solid- and surface modelling, or equivalent knowledge.

Aim

The course aims to provide deeper knowledge in surface modeling. The course also aims to create an understanding of the concept of surface quality. It also aims to develop the knowledge of digitally produced images.

Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)

  • understand the basics of NURBS curves and NURBS surfaces.
  • acquire advanced skills in the use of NURBS modeling.
  • acquire understanding of continuity in curves and surfaces.
  • acquire skills in modeling with G0 , G1 , G2 , and G3 and G4 continuity.
  • acquire improved skills in building curves and surfaces. This refers to both free and existing surfaces with different continuity requirements.
  • develop an understanding of the methodology with surface modeling. It is important to be able to picture the models as surfaces in the construction work.
  • be able to build the models with good surface quality. This refers to the importance of Cv-points and the placement in a " hull" and its impact on surface quality.

Content

The course is given as a number of specific exercises to be submitted and judged. The course includes exercises in which students create their own products based on a given framework. Great part of the course focus on their own work in order to acquire skills in surface modeling.

Organisation

The course integrates lectures and exercises. The course is conducted by individual projects.
