The course is a substitute for:

Construction of CAD Systems (36KCA)

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Computer Science and Engineering

Synopsis:

Main topics of the lectures are: CAD systems principles, CAD/CAM/CIM structure, customizing, 3D graphics, AutoLISP/AutoCAD, graphic database, ARX/Visual/AutoLISP, parametric modeling, design by features, Pro/Engineer, Visual Basic for Application, Product data management (PDM), concurrent engineering. The aim of seminars is to construct a professional CAD product application.
