Computer Aided Design & Analysis

This course introduces students to the fundamentals and advanced techniques of computer-aided design (CAD) and analysis. It focuses on the geometric modeling of components, assemblies, and systems using modern CAD software. Emphasis is placed on the integration of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tools for stress, thermal, and dynamic simulations to predict real-world behavior of mechanical parts and assemblies. Students will gain practical skills in 2D drafting, 3D modeling, meshing, and result interpretation, preparing them for design validation and optimization in engineering applications.
