Holder(s) :  Eric Béchet, Eric Béchet
Language :  French language
Course contents :  Implicit, parametric curves and surfaces
Polynomial interpolation and approximation
Mathematical model and geometrical interpretation of Bézier and B-spline curves and surfaces
NURBS curves and sufaces
Mesh generation fundamentals
Use of a CAD software
Course objective :  Curves and suface modeling in CAD software is based on tools that are explained both in theory and practice in this course. The aim of the lectures is to give to the student an opportunity to understand and know how to use adequately these tools, and to know their limts and/or strengths. A part of the lectures is dedicated to mesh generation for the finite element method (CAD-FEM interface). The theoretical part of the course is accompanied by practical exercices on the CATIA CAD software.
Prerequisites :  Bachelor in engineering
Workshops :  Practice on the CATIA CAD sofware
Organization :  The course is given durin the first semester.
Assessment :  Project (25%)
Final exam (75%)
