Laboratory of design with CAD and 3D rendering tools.
Course Content - Part B
With reference to the specific educational objectives of the course of study and the skills of the doctor of agriculture and forestry, the course aims to develop knowledge pertinent to the design of forestry construction with an approach that takes into account sustainability and Goals 11, 12 and 13 of Agenda 2030.
Throughout the course, all resources used during the lectures will be posted on the Moodle platform in the specific sections/topics: pdf presentations, handouts, scientific articles, and software and instrumentation manuals.
Learning Objectives - Part A
The aim of the course is to provide students with basic knowledge to apply methodologies for the design of small buildings in non-seismic areas will be applied, using the appropriate tools for the graphic rendering
Learning Objectives - Part B
1. Knowledge and Ability to Understand: consolidate practical and theoretical knowledge needed by professionals working within the scope of expertise of agricultural and forestry practitioners;
2. Application of skills: develop the ability to use the tools and methodologies for interventions in the design, evaluation and testing of projects or interventions in forestry;
3. Professional autonomy and self-assessment: acquire the ability to characterize different intervention scenarios, definition of the limits of professional skills, acquire the ability to create and manage interoperable working groups;
4. Relational/communication skills: acquire technical language to be used in specific contexts of the forestry construction sector, but also in multidisciplinary contexts organized in interoperable working groups.
5. Self-learning skills: consolidate attitudes to support technical problem solving, develop the ability to identify sources, resources, tools and technologies needed to solve problems of a technical nature.

Further information - Part A
During the course, software for structural verification and Autocad will be used.
Further information - Part B
Software for structural verification, 3D modeling and BIM software will be used during the course. It is preferable to work on Window operating system
Type of Assessment - Part A
Intermediate tests and final oral examination.
Type of Assessment - Part B
During the course, 3 in-progress tests will be conducted and evaluated before the end of the course. Test 1: Analysis of permanent loads and variable loads of a given infrastructure; dimensioning warping of a floor. Test 2: rough design of a rural building (plan and section). Test 3: Processing of a photogrammetric dataset, 3D reconstruction and drafting of a technical report. Access to the tests is bound to the acquisition of specific badges that will be issued following scheduled and pre-announced design tasks both in class and by email from Moodle platform. For those who, due to special needs, are unable to take the in itinere tests, the final examination will include an interview to verify skills consistent with the in itinere tests taken during the course.
Course program - Part A
This AutoCAD training course is specifically based on the beginner’s level of understanding and teaches the learners the basic properties of AutoCAD. The program is used to create 2D Computer-aided designs. The program is used generally used by architectural and engineering students to create blueprints and designs of their projects and models before getting it into the real world. In the training, we applied the needs of agronomists. The sole aim of this course is to teach the students the user interface and the tools of AutoCAD before they take much deeper and advanced learning on the software.
The first part of the course highlights the 2D Essential used in AutoCAD. This part contains and covers a lot of topics based on 2D development and the creation of models. Starting with required installing the same on the operating systems. The first part moves towards the user interface and the whole working of the software. It teaches the Drawing Units and Navigation techniques, and different command functions used for creating polygons, lines, and rectangles. Simple commands such as Erase and Redo, Co-ordinates, Fillet, Arcs, Chamfer, Move, copy and selection tools. Next, the second part of the course concern another command: rotate and scale, trim and extend command, lengthen and stretch, offset and mirror. After this second part the students will learn how to use object snapping, dimensioning, text and layer, divide and blocks and explode properties.
The fourth part is about the 2D advanced subject. In this part the students learn about creating and developing 2d advanced models in AutoCAD and using the tools required to create them. This part also teaches about the Annotation text, Annotation dimensions, constraints and working with existing data and assembling everything.
The last part of the course is based on 3d modelling and its basics used in AutoCAD applied in the topography area.
Course program - Part B
Statics Recap: forces (definition, characterization, equivalent forces, units of measurement). Forces applied to bodies, convention of signs and their designation. Systems of forces. Modulus of resistance. Static analysis of a rigid body. Conditions of equilibrium of a rigid body. Constraints. Classification of constraints: Simple constraints, double constraints, triple constraints. Labile, isostatic and hyperstatic systems. The reactions of constraints. Calculation of the reactions of constraints. The graphical and analytical calculation of constraint reactions. General equations of statics. Single beam systems: supported beams, cantilever beams, continuous beams.
Building materials: brick, wood, steel. Use of sustainable building materials.
Structural sizing, analysis of incidental and variable loads. Calculation and sizing of wooden floor frames.
Autocad/Civil3d: drawing tools, editing, annotation. Project boards and execution of a rough draft for a rural building. Topographic survey and restitution and analysis of 3D surfaces.
