DRAF 294 - Pro/ENGINEER Advanced Assembly and Mechanism Design


3 hrs (Sem II)
Prerequisite(s): A grade of C or better in DRAF 210  and DRAF 278 . This course will cover two specific topics and will be taught as two classes. Topics of Advanced Assembly will include the use of advanced assembly tools that enable addition to and maintenance of the design, methods to increase system performance when working with large assemblies, creating and using predefined assembly structures and skeletons, and using simplified representations in complex parts and assemblies. Topics of Mechanism Design will include mechanism connections, configuring the mechanism model, creating a kinematic analysis and evaluating results, determining the range of motion between components in moving assemblies, creating of cam connections that enable parts to “push” other parts they come into contact with, and checking for collisions between moving components. 2 lecture hours, 3 laboratory hours.
