METC 172 - Computer Aided Design UG/NX
Credit Hours: 4
Billable Contact Hours: 6
Prerequisites: MDTC 121 or MDTC 160 or equivalent
Session Cycle: WSU
In this course, students learn concepts in the use of profiles and parametric features as building blocks for 3D solid models using the Unigraphics/NX part and assembly modeling software. Advanced topics of NURBS surfacing and assemblies, as well as the creation of 2D drawings will be discussed. An analysis of models using Finite Elements Analysis (FEA) tools will be attempted, time permitting.
Notes: Applied Science and Engineering Technology Division
