PRDE 1620 - CATIA Essentials

Credit Hours: 4.00

Prerequisites: PRDE 1010 or PRDE 1250

(replaces PRDE 1600 and PRDE 1610 together but does not equate to either course separately)

This course is designed for a new user of CATIA. The student will be presented the fundamentals of Part Modeling, Assemblies, and Drafting. No credit after PRDE 1610.

Contact Hours: 6
Billable Contact Hours: 6

OUTCOMES AND OBJECTIVES
Outcome 1: Upon completion of this course, students will use the CATIA Sketcher interface.

Objectives: Using the CATIA Sketcher interface the learner will:

Use selected menus, modeling the part within the time allowed.
Use selected options, modeling the part within the time allowed.
Develop and use selected customized tool bars, modeling the part within the time allowed.

Outcome 2: Upon completion of this course, students will use the Assembly tools in CATIA.

Objectives: Using the Assembly tools in CATIA the learner will:

Use the menus to assemble components within the time allowed.
Use the options to hold associative properties within the assembly.
Use the menus to substitute components of an assembly.

Outcome 3: Upon completion of this course, students will use the Drafting interface in CATIA.

Objectives: Using the Drafting interface in CATIA, the learner will:

Use the selected menus within the time allowed to develop orthographic views.
Use the selected options within the time allowed to properly dimension a part.
Demonstrate the proper notes to complete a drawing.

Outcome 4: Upon completion of this course, students will demonstrate the ability to use Basic Part Modeling in CATIA to design parts.

Objectives: Using the Basic Part Modeling in CATIA the learner will:

Use the selected menus to complete the project within the time allowed.
Use the options to build the project within the time allowed.
Create a parametric part with the time allowed for the project.
