EDM


  • AAv1 [heures: 3, A1, C2, F1, F2] (2D/3D Vision): Situation: at the end of the course, the student must be able to represent a system in 3D from its orthogonal projection in 2D and vice versa

    • complete an incomplete definition drawing
    • extract a part in 2D from a 2D assembly drawing
    • produce an isometric view of a part or system freehand
  • AAv2 [heures: 11, A3, C2, G2] (kinematic modeling): Situation: At the end of the course, from a given mechanical system (2D overall drawing or 3D CAD model) the student must be capable of producing a kinematic diagram of the system while respecting the standards for representing elementary mechanical connections.

    • standardized and respected representation
    • solids are clearly identified
    • the standardized connections chosen correspond to the relative movements of the solids in contact.
