METC 170 - Introduction to Parametric CAD/CATIA
Credit Hours: 3
Billable Contact Hours: 6
Prerequisites: MDTC 160 or equivalent CAD experience
Session Cycle: WI
This is an introductory course for all new users of CATIA V5. Students will gain an understanding of the CATIA V5 interface and how to use CATIA V5 to create solid models of parts, assemblies and drawings Parts will be managed in the context of an assembly. This is a hands-on course where students produce simple parts drawings and assemblies.
