Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| 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. |
