Objectives
Individual Solving of 3D design problems. Gaining knowledge of the two dimensional visualisation of 3D elements. Reading, interpretation and making of 2D drawings on drawing sheets. 3D design with solid edge and the generation and detailing of 2D drawings in solid edge, considering the rules and normalisation.
Topics
During the reading and interpretation of the 2D drawings are the following topics covered:
Use and interpretation of technical normailsation
Projections, line types, bill of materials,...
Visualisation in space starting from 2D drawings.
Dimensions, tolerances, surface rougness,...
Sections
Symbolic presentationb (thread)
Assembly drawings
During the design of 3D parts with solid edge are the following topics covered:
Setting up the interface and the environment
Sketching and the use of constraints
Extrude and revolve with the different options
Fillet, Chamfer, holes with and without thread
Modifying features
Generating two dimensional drawings and completing these with dimensions, tolerances,...
Making section and detail views
Making a 3D model from a 2D drawing
Making an assembly out of different parts
Use of a part library
Analysis of the degrees of freedom of an assembly
Prerequisites
None
Final Objectives
After completion of the course the student must have the possibilities to analyse electro-mechanical design and to locate the mechanical problems. The student is able to use the analyse tools provided by the 3D software and can provide a solution for the located problems.
The student must be able, on an individual bases to visualise an existing technical mechanical design in a 3D environment and making, starting from the 3D visualisation, 2D work drawings for use in a production environment for the manufactoring of the different parts of the mechanical design.
Starting with the competences that the student has acquired in the Solid Edge design environment, he must be able to extrapolate the acquired competences to other 3D modelling environments, after a tutorial to explain the differences in the interface. The student can use external tools like part libraries.
The student can make a visual simulation of the movements of a mechanical design using the degrees of freedom of the assembly.
Acquiring a basic knowledge of 3D modelling together with a knowledge of 2D drafting and normalisation.Finding the appropriate normalisation and applying these rules in the solid edge drafting environment.
Materials used
Belgian normalisation for mechanical design.
Basiscursus Solid Edge voor het basisonderwijs, CARDS Engineering
Werkmap/Vademecum CRITTO Commissie Ruimtelijk Inzicht, Technisch Tekenen en Ontwerpen
Study costs
Course material Solid Edge, Werkmap/Vademecum technisch tekenen: € 45
Study guidance
Individual supervising of the students, problems will be solved during teaching time.
Students can use Solid Edge at home with the campus licence agreement.
Teaching Methods
Supervised interpretation of drawings with the teaching of normalisation and drawing rules.
Theoretical background and supervising of computer aided design and drafting.
Assessment
Theoretical examination: 0%
Lab, exercises (continuous evaluation): 100%
1/3 continuous evaluation on the exercises in Solid Edge
1/3 on a practical examination to prove the knowledge and the competentions acquired and this in a limited time.
1/3 quotation on the interpretation of the drawings supplied.
However, if a student gains a score of 7 or less on 20 on one of the different courses (parts of training items), he proves that his skill for certain subcompetencies is insufficient. Consequently, one can turn from the arithmetical calculation of the final assignment of quotas of a training item and the new marks can be awarded on consensus. Of course the examiners can judge that the arithmetic regulations mentioned in the study index card can also be used for 7 or less. For each deviation a detailed motivation ought to be drawn up. In that case one should point out that the skill for this subcompetency is proven to be insufficient, if the student didn’t pass the partim that is considered to be important for certain subcompetencies.
