CAD3 - Surface Modeling and Parametric Modeling and SimulationsLaajuus (4 cr)

Objective

After completing the course, you will be able to model 3D constructs and create assemblies from them. You will be able to effectively use the parameters of a feature-based 3D modelling program and understand the logic of modelling.

Content

1. Surface models
- Lines and features in surface modelling
- Analysis of lines
- Making and modifying surfaces
- Analysing and editing surface models
2. Parametric modelling
- Creating dependencies at sketch level
- Creating dependencies of features
- Configurable models
- Creating a parametric model using a spreadsheet
3. Simulations
- 3D model kinematics simulations
- Simulation of the physical properties of a 3D model
