Autodesk Mechanical 2007

Summary
This fundamentals course covers parametric modeling with Autodesk Mechanical 2007. Users will learn about part and assembly modeling by participating in hands-on exercises that utilize real-world parts, assemblies and drawings. Topics covered are: basic part modeling including creating and working with sketches, sketched and placed features, work features, scaling and mirroring of parts, use of design variables to control parts, and part detailing, assembly modeling including assembly constraints, BOMs, parts lists balloons, exploded views and other special requirements of assembly detailing.

Who Should Attend
Mechanical Engineers, Designers, Drawing Detailers, Analysts, and personnel requiring the ability to edit any part, assembly, and drawing data.

Objectives
The primary objective of this course is to take the students’ AutoCAD knowledge and apply it to parametric feature-base modeling within Mechanical Desktop. Upon completion, participants will have an understanding of the parametric modeling process and be able to design and document moderately complex parts and assemblies.

Prerequisites
Completion of AutoCAD fundamentals training or equivalent experience.
