CADMD 249 3D Mechanical Design and Animation - Solidworks

Prerequisite: CADMD 244 with a C or better or professor consent
2 lectures; 2 lab hrs: 3 hrs credit
This is a course in computer aided design for the advanced 2D CAD user and intermediate 3D CAD user. Students learn how to use the advanced features of 3D solid modeling applications using the Solidworks CAD drafting program. Individuals will begin with the basics of the Solidworks program and will apply CAD knowledge to real industry applications by mastering complex surface modeling, mechanical design projects, rendering, and plotting. The course content stresses uses and reinforcement of 3D CAD capabilities covered in previous courses. Design concepts such as design automation and product design analysis are covered.
