An introduction to Computer Aided Design,
drawing and modelling at the School of Engineering, The
University of Plymouth. |
| Throughout the
lifecycle of any engineered project computers hold an important
if not central role. This role is becoming increasingly
important as competitive pressures call for increases in quality
and performance and reductions in costs and time scales. Computers help engineers to increase their productivity. From the initial design stages through to final build or manufacture, specialist software enables engineers to capture design detail in 'virtual' representations, or models. Using virtual models enable them not only to create drawings and visualise in 3D but to evolve the design by simulating real life behaviour prior to manufacture. Here in the School of Engineering all students gain a good grounding in CAD technology using industry standard CAD packages, such as AutoCAD and Pro/ENGINEER. From the basics of conventional engineering drawing practises, creation of 2D drawings and 3D models, students will experience more specialist 'discipline specific' uses of CAD. This experience could range from advanced visualisation using photo-realistic rendering and animation through to simulation of structural, fluid flow and motion behaviours or boat hull design and performance prediction.
