Learn the fundamental principles of 3D parametric part design, assembly design, and creating production-ready part and assembly drawings using ZW3D. Hands-on exercises are used throughout the course.
Provide users with a thorough understanding of the principal 3D design, validation, and documentation processes necessary for developing products using ZW3D.
After completing this course, students will be able to:
Capture design intent by using the proper techniques and recommended workflows for creating intelligent 3D parametric parts
Create, place, and constrain custom and standard components in an assembly
Simulate mechanisms, animate assembly designs, and check for interferences
Document designs using base, projected, section, detail, and isometric drawing views
Document assemblies using standard and exploded drawing views.
Follow drafting standards while dimensioning and annotating drawing views with automated balloons and parts lists.
