Cad 7th Sem

This course provides a 4 credit unit introduction to computer aided design. The objectives are to impart in-depth knowledge of geometric modeling and its applications in CAD/CAM. Students will learn about numerical techniques, computer graphics, design databases, finite element analysis, and design optimization. Commercial CAD software will be introduced to create engineering components and assemblies. The course covers topics such as transformations, curve representation, solid modeling, and mechanical assembly analysis. Students will complete hands-on labs using software like ANSYS and Pro-E to design parts like flanges, shafts, gears, and pressure vessels. Assessment includes exams, assignments, and lab evaluations.
