DFT 213 - Parametric Modeling


5 Credits
In this course you will learn how to use parametric design software for mechanical design and data package completion. Parametric modeling is 3D modeling based on design parameters and constraints. SolidWorks is the software of choice in this class due to its widespread use around the globe. You will explore part and assembly modeling in depth and seek industry certification at the end of the course to prove your competency.

Course Outcomes
  1. Create part and assembly models and drawings in a parametric modeling software.
  2. Connect models to mechanical design principles using Design Intent.
  3. Evaluate solid models and correct them.
  4. Use efficient modeling practices in modeling mechanical parts.
