Computer Aided Design (CAD) in the Industrial Development Process

Modern industrial development processes depend on modern design methods. Therefore, computer aided design (CAD) methods have been an essential tool in product development for quite some time.
In the course ‘Computer Aided Design (CAD) in the Industrial Development Process’ at TU Graz, you will acquire a thorough knowledge of 3D CAD design and learn how components and assemblies are developed in practice.

Content

The course is divided into three blocks: Block 1:

• Fundamentals of computer-based development
• Introduction to 3D CAD design (CATIA V5)

Block 2:

• Parametric associative design methods
• Extended, production-oriented design of 3D components
• Structure and design of assemblies
• Digital mock-up and motion simulation in CATIA V5

Block 3:

• Wire mesh and surface design in CATIA V5

The blocks can be booked separately and can be adapted to the specific needs of your company.
