Unit Code: MEB604

Unit Name: Computer Aided Design and Analysis

Description: Fundamentals of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM). Creating, reading, and understanding databases for solid models. Assemblies and sub-assemblies. Design and analysis of mechanisms with linkages, gears, springs, dampers. Finite Element Modeling of parts, assemblies, and mechanisms. CAM, 3-axis milling, APT, Design optimization. To extend the students knowledge on relevant engineering applications in the field of Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computer Numerical Control (CNC) and Computer aided Manufacturing (CAM). Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) analysis tools such as finite element analysis (FEA) for static analysis and evaluation of dynamic operations are introduced and evaluated.

Learning Target Outcomes: On successful completion of this course, students should be able to: 1. Design 3-D parametric CAD models using available parametric features, select and apply suitable materials to the model (WA 3) 2. Control and Investigates the CAD model by configurations, design tables and equations for a variety of specifications (WA3,WA4) 3. Render CAD models (virtual photograph) for use in professional documentation such as a proposals and brochures. (WA5,WA2) 4. Create orthographic and isometric drawings and related section, detail and exploded views in accordance to Australian Standard (AS1100) and generate bill of materials and 3D animation of CAD models (WA 2) 5. Determine necessary constraints and simulate dynamic mechanisms (assemblies). (WA2) 6. Evaluate and verify the results of computation analysis and/or simulation by mathematical computation (WA 2 , WA 4)
