AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE: To provide the bachelor degree students
with basic knowledge and practical skills of Computer Aided Design systems. The course
gives knowledge about principles of creating 3D models and their application in preparing
engineering documentation and other engineering activities in virtual environment.
DESCRIPTION OF THE COURSE: The main topics concern: General review of CAD
systems applications, peripheral devices, software design and main features, types of
geometric models, creating and applications, feature based parametric models – basic
features, plane sketches – constrains and dimensioning, degrees of freedom, 3D features,
types, creating and interaction, assemblies – 3D constrains and degrees of freedom,
theoretical elements of computer graphics – rasterization, 2D and 3D transformations.
