CADD1512

This course provides an introduction to Inventor parametric modeling software. A guided lab approach is used to construct basic models, basic mechanical designs, and create multi-view drawings that conform to industry standards. A hands-on, exercise intense approach to the parametric modeling techniques and concepts will be taken. Students explore the parametric modeling process and learn about the growing field of Mechanical Design.Student Learning Outcomes

• Demonstrate the setup/startup for a new model/drawing to be created.
• Utilize the 2D sketching functions of the software.
• Construct solid model geometry/features from 2D sketches.
• Create placed features on a model.
• Demonstrate the ability to modify features and 2D sketches.
• Produce 2D multi-view drawings from a models.
• Apply Dimensions, notes and text to drawings.
• Use printer/plotter to create drawing hardcopies.
