Course objectives:
|
The aim of the course is to develop students' skills acquired in previous studies in the field of CAD systems with a focus on the design of electrical equipment and their structural parts. Advanced tools for creating 3D CAD models as well as tools for simulation of model stresses and their visualization are introduced in a practical form. Students are expected to have a basic knowledge of working in any 3D CAD system.
