  • Apply and demonstrate basic skills in 3D modeling in CAD - systems
  • Apply and demonstrate basic skills in visualization CAD - systems
  • Create, evaluate and propose and implement changes where individual elements of a CAD system in a structured way.
  • Basic understanding of concepts of geometry modeling, NURBS and Subdivision
  • Gain an understanding of the concept of continuity between surfaces
  • Basic understanding of projects and file structure

Content

Lectures and computer exercises will be integrated in the computer room.

CAD - System, like  Autodesk Alias ​​Automotive, is used in education.

The course concludes with an independent group project, where students choose a product within a reasonable level of difficulty, plan, model, visualize and present the project.
