Language(s) of instruction :
|
| English language |
|
Organisation and examination :
|
| All year long, with partial in January |
|
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
Use of a CAD software
Solving simple CAD problems by programming in a dedicated environnment |
|
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. The theoretical part of the course is accompanied by practical exercices on the CATIA CAD software. Students will also be able to solve simple CAD problems in an C/C++ environnment |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
