Learning objectives

To make a detailed design a simple mechanical system, such as a lifting device, using CAE tools (electronic worksheet, solid modeling).

Prerequisites

<p>Knowledge of technical drawing rules and strength of materials</p>

Course unit content

The lessons follow a strict order to guide the students to the objective and to correctly relate with the Fondamenti di Progettazione Strutturale Meccanica course, given during the same semester.<br />
Lessons are of two types: i) lectures and, ii) tutorials. Some of the tutorials are made in the laboratory for the implementation of calculations into the worksheet and the creation of the 3D solid model of the assembly and its parts. Each lesson lasts from two to three hours. The project will be developed in groups of max 5 students.<br />
