ATDD 2100 - 3-Dimensional Shape Interpretation for the Trades

Credit Hours: 2


Prerequisites: ATDD 2000  

(replaces but does not equate to ATDD 1970)

ATDD 2100 introduces students to the basic concepts and practices of computer-aided design (CAD). Major topics of study include relevant terminology, the CAD user interface, sketching and constraining 2D geometry, parametric solid modeling, assembly design, technical drawing creation, and solid model manipulation and modification.

OUTCOMES AND OBJECTIVES
Outcome 1: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to create fully constrained 2D sketches on CAD software.

Objectives:

  1. Develop sketches using 2D sketch tools.
  2. Constrain geometry using dimensional constraints.
  3. Apply geometric constraints to 2D sketches.

Outcome 2: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to create parametric solid models on CAD software.

Objectives: 

  1. Generate 3D solid models from 2D sketches.
  2. Incorporate dress-up features to add design characteristics to solid models.
  3. Modify solid models via parametric constraint modifications.

Outcome 3: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to build product assemblies on CAD software.

Objectives:

  1. Create assembly files from individual solid model files.
  2. Constrain all components per assembly requirements.
  3. Develop top-down and bottom-up assemblies.

Outcome 4: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to produce detailed technical drawings on CAD software.

Objectives: 

  1. Generate multi-view detail and assembly drawing files from 3D solid model data.
  2. Create annotations such as dimensions, notes, revision columns, title blocks, balloons, etc.
  3. Build auxiliary, section, and detail views on drawings, as needed.
