DRF 211 Parametric Design with SolidWorks 2

Lecture Hours: 1
Lab Hours: 6
Credits: 3

Covers advanced modelling techniques employed in SolidWorks. Introduces weldment and sheet metal features, Applies features such as configurations, design tables, add-ins, and adaptive parts for sophisticated part and assembly modelling. Explores translation of various file types used for design and drafting to/from SolidWorks.

Prerequisite: DRF 210 or EGR 248 with a grade of C or better; or consent of instructor.
