No reference books are available for the subjects of the course.
Support material consists of a set of slides used by the teacher during the lessons. Support material can be downloaded on the Moodle web
Learning Objectives
The course aims to develop knowledge of CAD tools. At the end of the course, the student will acquire both the knowledge necessary to choose the most suitable geometric modelling strategy for the specific case studied and the practical ability to correctly use parametric solid modellers based on features.
Teaching Methods
The Course is organized into in-class exercises and teamwork
Type of Assessment
The exanimation consists in the presentation and discussion of the performed teamwork
Course program
3D modelling of solid bodies and surface bodies;
Modeling constraints: geometric, dimensional and algebraic.
2D sketch: basic functions, associativity, automatic, geometric and dimensional constraints.
2D Sketch and its functions;
3D Sketch and its functions;
Support geometry: planes, axes and points;
3D functions from sketch: base extrusion, cut extrusion, etc.
3D direct functions: chamfer, fillet, mirror, etc.
Assembly functions;
The concepts will be illustrated and practiced by means of "Solidworks" software package
