INTRODUCTION

Design today has transformed from ‘experience based’ to ‘software tools assisted’. Rapid advancement in computational power coupled with availability of high-end, low cost CAE softwares, has contributed largely to the development of design over the last decade. Hands-on-knowledge on these softwares is essential to meet the growing demand of industry for trained designers. This course is designed to enhance the knowledge of faculty members of engineering institutions, scientists, designers and practicing engineers from industries, who intend to adopt an integrated approach of CAE using CAD and FEM. The relevance of the present course is to familiarize the participants with the theoretical aspects and the associated softwares in the field of CAD and FEM.

 

OBJECTIVES

CAD and FEM are already established compulsory subjects in the curriculum of almost all leading engineering institutes nationwide. However, there is a big gap between the theoretical concepts and practical applications of CAD and FEM due to the lack of computational facilities (commercial softwares and more so trained instructors). This course aims at bridging this gap and enriching the teachers and engineers by imparting knowledge of theory and fundamentals coupled with hands-on-experience through lab sessions, on advanced CAE softwares. This will help in building their knowledge base and research capabilities in the area of CAD and FEM. The overall aim being to contribute in the process of producing qualified, trained CAE professionals and making India a global design hub.

 

COURSE CONTENTS

  • Introduction / Design Models

  • AutoCAD based 2d Drawing / Drafting lab sessions

  • Graphic transformations and Viewing transformations

  • Curve modeling, Surface modeling, Solid modeling

  • Turbo C++ / Matlab based Computer Programming / Graphics lab sessions

  • IDEAS / Unigraphics based Solid modeling and Surface modeling Lab sessions

  • Downstream applications - Optimization, CAM, Reverse Engineering, Rapid prototyping, Robotics, Medical imaging 

  • CAD s/w (ProEngineer, Solidworks, AutoDesk Inventor etc) based tutorials by industry experts
