Computer-Aided Design

The purpose of study subject is to enable students to acquire knowledge about components of the computer aided design (further CAD) systems, elements of the three-dimensional computer graphics, spatial solid body modelling using CAD software. It also does develop abilities to model 3D bodies (parts) and assemblies, to create drawings, to render images and animations using CAD software, to assess 3D bodies’ properties by static analysis using integrated solver.
