MIM U660 - Computer Aided Design

Institution:

Northeastern University

Subject:

Description:

Examines the field of computer-aided design. Introduces the concepts of 3D geometric modeling of mechanical parts and assemblies. Covers the fundamentals of curves and surfaces that are utilized to create "real" parts that have complex shapes. Covers the concepts of parametric solid modeling that are utilized by all commercial CAD/CAM systems. Includes solid modeling techniques such as linear/nonlinear sweep, CSG, and B-rep. Introduces the basics of geometric relations and constraints. Shows how to create assemblies from individual parts. Covers CAD/CAM applications such as mass properties, mechanical tolerances, finite element modeling and analysis, and CNC tool path generation. A commercial CAD/CAM system is used to provide students with hands-on experience in a lab setting to master the concepts covered in the course.
