Description:

- 3 credits Computer-aided three-dimensional application (CATIA) fundamentals is a course that is organized around real world problems that would be solved using descriptive geometry exercises as a foundation and the CAD application as a helpful tool. Vectors, transformations, geometric modeling concepts, techniques and methodologies are discussed. Demonstrating the use of the computer- aided design (CAD) tool to the solution of concepts in other courses in the mechatronics program is a primary focus of the course. This will enable students to revisit concepts in other solid mechanics courses within the program (e.g. statics and strength of materials). One example will be a free body wireframe model that students will solve by sketching and representing in a CAD drawing. The dynamic link between the two files (.catpart and .catdrawing) will be used to illustrate changes in loading conditions. Included in this course are the concepts of three-dimensional wireframe modeling and the transition to surfce and solid modeling as well. The application of CAD to industrial problems is also a topic of discussion, such as how design and manufacturing can be improved through the linking of CAD to computer-aided manufacturing applications. The standards used for file conversions and incompatibility issues will also be discussed. Prerequisite: CDE240
