Aim:
After completing this course, the participants will have a good understanding of how automation of repetitive CAD work will provide engineers the means and opportunity to be more intuitive and creative. Furthermore the students shall:
- Be capable of creating CAD models of complex products
- Understand how to implement logic in CAD models in order to make them intelligent and generative
- Understand the principle of building flexible and reusable CAD models
- Be capable of creating flexible and reusable CAD models in CATIA V5
- Able to use programming in Visual Basic, CATScript and Engineering Knowledge Language (EKL) to create generative CAD models
- Able to use Application Programming Interface (API) in order to connect various software

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Admission to master level studies in the field of Mechanical Engineering or similar. Comprehensive knowledge of CAD and basic programming.
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
Lectures and computer exercises where methods and techniques thought in the course are applied to real design tasks. The lectures consist of mixed theory overview as well as guest lecturers from the industry to put the theory in a real world context. In the end of the course a workshop is arranged where the students will present their results to each other and invited industry representatives.

Course contents:
The course is divided in three parts.
In the first part of the course the students are introduced to:
- Basic modeling in CATIA V5
- Part workbench
- Assembly workbench
- Generative Shape Design workbench
Part two of the course will introduce the students to:
- Methodologies on how to create complex products.
- Rule-based design
- Design reuse
- How to connect models with an external user interface
Early on in the course an examination task will be handed out, which should be solved working in groups.
