Course specific prerequisites
The course LMU602 Computer aided design, solid- and surface modelling, or equivalent knowledge.Aim
The course aims to, in project-based learning, which mimics the industrial process for CAD work, design a complex product. The aim is further to create an understanding of the sub-tasks needed to implement a complex product, and to create an understanding of how different groups in a project depends on each other. An additional aim is to understand how different subgroups need to relate to the interfaces included in the development of a complex product.Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
- acquire skills in solid modeling at a high level.
- acquire knowledge and skills in working with interfaces within a complex CAD model.
- acquire skills in working with tolerances linked to work in a complex CAD model.
- acquire knowledge and skills in the work with surfaces in solid modeling in the selected CAD program.
- understand and reflect on the manufacturability of the components and parts of a complex model.
- understand and reflect on the complexity of the work done by the group in developing a complex model.
Content
This course in computer aided modeling provides training in modern tools and methods used to create solids (CAD/Catia V5). The course covers the functions needed to use the program CAD/Catia V5 - to create part models, drawings and assemblies.Organisation
Lectures 14h, exercises 80h, and 100h own work. Classes are conducted throughout the course as group activities. Great importance is given to that the students are present during the entire course.Literature
Will be announced at the start of the course.Examination including compulsory elements
Grades are given as fail or pass. To pass, students are required to attend the course team activities. It also requires approved design data and project approval.The course examiner may assess individual students in other ways than what is stated above if there are special reasons for doing so, for example if a student has a decision from Chalmers on educational support due to disability.
