After successful completion of the course, students are able to:

• discuss the challenges of parametric 3D-CAD modeling
• differentiate between direct modeling and parametric modeling
• formulate the requirements for stable sketch geometry
• classify features for geometry creation in CAD systems
• outline a methodically correct process for modeling cast parts
• name the basic functions and requirements for freeform surfaces
• describe the methodical structure of fiber composite components
• discuss different requirements for assembly structures
• reproduce the methodology of positioning parts in assemblies
• specify the functionalities for the assembly of welded assemblies, tubing assemblies, and harness assemblies

• Introduction, fundamentals of 3D product modeling
• Sketches & Layers as the basis for 3D editing
• Model construction based on simple geometric shapes
• Generation of bodies with complicated geometry
• cast parts, fillet methodic , drafts
• 3D surface construction for free-form production
• Construction of components made of fiber composite materials
• Construction of a clean assembly structure
• Part positioning in the assembly
• Analysis options within assemblies
• Standard parts, catalogs, variant control
• Welding assemblies, piping, harness laying

• Lecture
• Discussion based on case studies
• Exercise session to apply acquired knowledge
• Usage of parametric 3D-CAD software

The course assessment will be based on a written examination at the end of the semester and an oral examination for the practical part.
