41648 CAD/CAM
Danish title: CAD/CAM
Language:  English    ECTS-creditpoints:  5, External examination.   
Type:  open university
Class schedule:   F2
Exam schedule:   No exam
Recommended semester:  6th or 7th semester
Scope and form:  Lectures and excercises.
Evaluation:  Approval of coursework/reports
Examination:  13-scale
Previous course:  94340
Prerequisites:  Look under remarks.
No credit points with:  94340
Participant limitation:  Max. 26
Aim:  The aim of the course is to enable the students to:
1) understand the possibility of using CAD in the different phases of the design process
2) understand the structure and the utility of different levels of CAD / CAM and CAE in the design environment (Concurrent Engineering)
4) analyse specific problems in CAD / CAM and CAD / CAM applications
5) obtain the basic knowledge of the use of at least one advanced CAD / CAM-system.
Contents:  Theory: CAD versus the classic design theory. Structure and utility of CAD / CAM-systems. Modeling, remedies for design, design variants, development of applications. Interface to FEM, CAM and numerical control, fields of development in CAD / CAM, Costumising 3D CAD-systems, Concurrent Engineering.
As a part of the course the students have to use advanced CAD / CAM-system (Pro / Engineer) in connection with weekly exercises, and a bigger individual task, which has to be presented to the class in a lecture.
Remarks:  1) 41632/94306/94315 (Fundamentals of Mechanical Engineering Design) and 94902/94410 (Production Technology 2),
2) 41657/94325 (Mechanical Engineering Design) or "Basic training in Pro/Engineer" or the possibility to make an intensive Pro/Engineer self training study of approximately 40 hours during the first two weeks.
