Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the student will be able to: create computer models of 3D mechanical objects with a variety of geometry types and model typical engineering assemblies. understand the significance of assembly models to the wider organisation. make photorealistic rendered images of 3D assemblies and parts. carry out stress/modal analyses and understand the major practical considerations in using integrated FE analysis techniques and how these relate to analytical methods. produce high quality documentation in the form of drawings, bills of materials, part lists and advanced 3D illustrations.
