GE 3651 - Computer-Aided Engineering Design2 lecture hours 2 lab hours 3 credits Course Description This is a course in the applications of computing tools to the engineering design. Simulation tools and techniques for virtual prototyping and design optimization will be introduced. A team design project will be undertaken using these modern simulation tools. (prereq: GE 3650 ) Course Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Apply the design methodology to design and analyze parts and assemblies of parts
- Effectively communicate a design in graphics, report writing and oral presentations
- Use computer tools to solve linear equations
- Use the CAD package to design parts
- Use FEA software to analyze stress and strain
- Use computer tools to prototype and verify a design
- Work in a work environment to develop and analyze an engineering design
- Assign and/or divide engineering work in a group environment
Prerequisites by Topic Course Topics
- Review of statics and strength of materials (3 classes)
- Overview of the design process with CAE (traditional versus concurrent engineering) (1 class)
- Overview of tolerancing techniques (traditional versus GDT) (2 classes)
- Definition of project goals, objective and constraints (1 class)
- Script development for engineering analysis (2 classes)
- Project conceptual design (2 classes)
- Advanced CAD topics (enhanced features, assemblies, CAD for analysis) (4 classes)
- Working drawings for communication of design specifications (3 classes)
- Overview of the finite element (FE) method (3 classes)
- Generation of a FE model from CAD (geometric) model (1 class)
- Linear structural analysis (5 classes)
- Report writing methods and presentations (3 classes)
