PRDE 2820 - 3DX-ICEM Shape Design

Credit Hours: 4.00

Prerequisites: PRDE 1920

3DX ICEM Shape Design is a three-dimensional CAD engineering tool that will introduce the student to methods and techniques of creating curves and surfaces for Class A surface development. The emphasis in this course is on 2D and 3D Curve creation, surface creation, and control point modification principles for both. Feature modeling, blend, analytical and navigational tools will also be covered. The 3DX interface as it pertains to ICEM will be explored and real-life Class A data files will be created.
