    Parametric tutoring (optional) on Monday at 15.20-17.00 at R102!


    During the course the student is introduced to the basics of parametric 3D CAD modeling. The software used is SolidWorks.

    Parametric (associative, feature-based, solid) CAD modelers are used in design, engineering and manufacturing. Using the same software throughout the product development process brings a lot of benefits.

    A parametric, feature-based model can be easily edited at any time. The models are also associative, which means that changes in a single part can be automatically updated to an assembly containing even thousands of parts, thus saving time.

    CAD software packages often have a broad set of tools and features ranging from basic part modeling to technical drawings and from sheet metal design to simulations.

    After the course the student can:

    Use the basic drawing & modeling tools
    Model simple parts
    Create assemblies & drawings
    Design utilizing the basics of parametrization, relations & links
