Computer Aided Design & Engineering

In the project based introduction to CAD/CAE Tools course I worked on about 11 small projects and two major group projects that provided me hands-on learning experience on how modern CAD and CAE technologies improve the three key factors of product development: product quality, development cost, and time-to-market. The projects covered the following key topics and software packages.

List of Software Packages used:

  • Autodesk SketchBook Designer
  • Autodesk Inventor Professional
  • Autodesk Showcase
  • Autodesk Simulation Multiphysics
  • Autodesk Inventor Publisher

 

List of Topics Covered Include:

  • Conceptual Design
  • Component Design with CAD
  • Free-form Shape Design with CAD, Design for Manufacturing
  • Engineering Drawing, and Bill of Materials
  • Designing for Change via ILogic coding
  • Design Documentation
  • Visualization for Product Development
  • Linear Structural Analysis
  • Non-Linear Structural Analysis
  • Kinematics Analysis
  • Design Optimization: MES Drop Test
  • Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Analysis
