Course detail

Computer Aided Production (CAD/CAM)

FSI-GPI Acad. year: 2021/2022 Winter semester

The aim of the course is to apprise students with practical knowledge in the field of modern methods for production planning with the help of simulation methods, CAD/CAM in relation to the Industry 4.0. New methods and approaches are explained by means of examples and by solving industrial problems. The course will familiarise students with the given field and provide them with instructions for solving particular problems. The seminars will focus on solving particular issues raised by the students.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will gain knowledge and practical experience of using modern approaches for simulation, computer-aided design and manufacturing.

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of simulation and CAD systems.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures. Core knowledge is based on self-study of the technical sources.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Credit requirements: Participation in the seminars and delivery of semester work that will be evaluated.

Language of instruction

Czech

Aims

1. Modern methods for computer-aided design and manufacturing are discussed. Students gain knowledge required to differentiate various methods for planning and scheduling with CAD/CAM support.
2. Application of simulation in manufacturing – Students prepare a simulation model and with the help of this model solve various problems using modern interactive simulation tools.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Lessons are completed according to the FSI schedule. Missed lessons can be individually compensated.
